The Young Fur Traders

Snowflakes and Sunbeams Inspired by Ballantyne’s own experiences with the Hudson’s Bay Company in Canada, the story follows young protagonist Charley Kennedy as he leaves the Red River Settlement for a life of trapping and adventure in the Canadian wilderness, encountering dangers, rivalries, and camaraderie with companions like Jacques Caradoc and an Indigenous man named Redfeather. It’s a tale of survival, friendship, and moral lessons set in a beautiful northern landscape. First published in 1856, this edition is derived from the original book with 8 black & white illustrations by the author. As always, this edition is complete and unabridged.
