Description

After retiring from HBC to Yellowknife, Seagrave decided to write down his tales of northern adventure. It was time to record what he witnessed as the fur trade collapsed, as electricity and television found their way into the remotest of communities, and as a revolution in transportation was occurring.

About the author

John Seagrave lived in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories with his wife Lisa, who runs the Gallery of the Midnight Sun, which they opened together. He was one of the last generation of Canadian fur traders, and witnessed the closing of an era of our history. The Hudson's Bay Boy chronicles his humorous adventures living amongst the Aboriginal people of Canada's far north. When it was done, it was made into a play which travelled across Canada.
