No. XIX in The Publications of the Hudson's Bay Record Society series. Edited by E. E. Rich who was assisted by A. M. Johnson. This volume contains a transcription of Eden Colvile's letters sent from Canada to Hudson's Bay Company (HBC) officials in London. Eden Colvile (1819-1893) was an English businessman and governor of HBC. He was the son of Andrew Colvile who had worked as Deputy Governor of HBC. Eden took over the duties of another HBC governor, George Simpson. As HBC governor, Eden was tasked with handling a variety of conflicts including racial and cultural tensions between the different residents of Red River Colony in Rupert's Land, the Guilleume Sayer trial, and Foss-Pelly trial. Following the main collection of Eden's correspondence to London is a collection of his letters addressed to Simpson. In both collections of his letters, Eden writes about a variety of subjects such as HBC administrative matters, noted HBC officials, and residents and politics of Red River Colony. In his Introduction, Morton writes about the general sociopolitical and racial dynamics in Red River Colony, the agricultural prospects and difficulties in the Colony, and notable individuals associated with Red River Colony. Morton discusses ethnic groups in the region such as the Metis, French Canadians, and Kildonan Scots. He addresses the importance of religion among various groups and tensions between Protestants and Roman Catholics. Morton paints a detailed picture of daily life in Red River Colony such as observed social customs, animals that could be raised there, and crops that could withstand the brutal winters of the region. Front colophon: "This copy is No. 658 of a limited Edition which is issued only to subscribers to the Hudson's Bay Record Society.".
