Castor Gras versus Castor Sec[edit]

I have found a very interesting web site from the McGill University Library Digital Collectiion, entitled In pursuit of Adventure: The Fur Trade in Canada and the Northwest Company. It is described as scholarly site, and has an fascinating bit that sheds light on the "castor gras" issue. Has general history, manuscripts, reference lists, chronology and maps.

Will add when/if I have time, but putting the reference up here for anyone to use, and so I won't misplace it!

The only doubt I have is description of the period as a "heroic age", so will need to assess overall quality. http://digital.library.mcgill.ca/nwc/toolbar_1.htm Peacedance (talk) 13:10, 11 August 2014 (UTC)

Possible Error[edit]

" During late summer or early fall the vatagi left their hunting ground, surveyed the area, and set up a winter camp." Shouldn't this read: During late summer or early fall the vatagi left FOR their hunting ground etc ? Orthotox (talk) 17:55, 22 March 2015 (UTC)
