Summary
:
New manuscripts directly related to Canada's history rarely come to light. The Labrador Companion, written in 1810 by Captain George Cartwright (1739-1819), and discovered in 2013, is a fascinating and unusual find because of its level of detail, its setting in a hardly studied part of Britain's fur-trade empire, and because it is a personal account rather than a trade outfit ledger or government document.
