As provided in the Introduction by John W Todd, Jr, who was proprietor of Shorey's Bookstore:
"These remarkable Journals covering Robert Campbell's many activities in the fur trade in the employ of the Hudson Bay Company, across its most important years, are of inestimable historical value The activities and distances covered over some of the ruggedest country in North America, under the most difficult conditions and weather imaginable, are almost impossible to believe" - from the editor's note "The first journal published herein was copied from a typed copy that reposed for years in the fine library of the late George W Soliday of Seattle No record has been found as to where the original of this lies--or if it still existsThe second of the two journals included in this volume is in the possession of Mrs JW Waddy of Canada, a grand-daughter of Robert Campbell, who also has a copy of the manuscript Campbell wrote and dictated when he retired."
