EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a significant moment in the history of the Hudson Bay Company during the late 1870s. The image showcases a train of carts, laden with an astonishing $75,000 worth of furs, making its way through the bustling streets of Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The scene is filled with an air of excitement as people gather to witness this remarkable display of commerce and trade. A dirt road stretches out before them, bearing witness to the constant movement and activity that defines this vibrant city. In this snapshot from the past, we catch a glimpse into the world of fur trading during that era. French fur traders can be seen alongside their indigenous counterparts who played an integral role in this thriving industry. The Hudson Bay Company's influence is palpable in every detail captured by this photograph - from the meticulously loaded carts to the determined expressions on people's faces. It serves as a testament to their dominance and success in shaping Canadian history. As we gaze upon this historic print today, it reminds us not only of our rich heritage but also prompts us to reflect on how far we have come since those early days. This remarkable image stands as a tribute to those who paved the way for modern commerce while leaving behind an indelible mark on Calgary's landscape.
