Joseph Kellogg's Observations on MAP OF NORTH AMERICA (1710) BY RAYMOND PHINEAS STEARNS The first Englishman so far as is known to travel through the Great Lakes and into the Illinois Country was Joseph Kellogg, a New England lad who, in 1710, at the age of nineteen years, accompanied "Six French Men from Canada" on "a Trading Voyage" to the Mississippi. Son of Martin and Sarah Dickenson [Lane] Kellogg, Joseph Kellogg was born November 8, 1691, at Hadley, Massachusetts. His grandfather, after whom he was named, had migrated to New England about 1650 from Great Leighs, Essex, England. After eleven years almost equally divided between Farmington, Connecticut, and Boston, Joseph Kellogg, the elder, became a proprietor of Hadley and the town's ferryman. Thereafter the Kelloggs were a frontier family. Joseph, the elder, fought in King Philip's War and, though the family must have realized, as the Reverend John Williams said, "It was a dangerous thing to be set in the Front of New England's Sins

Some small piece of the idiosyncracy that is identity is illuminated by light reflecting off water flowing from the heart of an unknown world. In canoe country, I feel this sense of connection, wondering how it was when first we came, or perhaps before they came. The country is in my blood. And my course on the "Frontier Heritage" becomes more and more an exploration of the mysterious mosaic of ethnic and racial realities and myths that makes us Americans. For me, teaching the course has become an exploration of the mysterious mosaic within myself, as well as a discovery of the history that is in each of us. On September 23, 1662, Jean Durand, a peasant from the town of Doeuil in the province of Saintonge, having completed his three year contract to earn his way to New France, took to wife Catherine Annennontak, daughter of the late Nicolas Arendankir captain of the Hurons of Georgian Bay. In 1658, she fled her fathers death and the annihilation of the Huron nation by Iroquois armed with Dutch and English muskets. The orphan and 200 other women and children were led to Quebec by the Jesuit missionaries who had been converting them. She was reared and taught in the French manner" by Madam de la Peltrie and Marie de l'Incarnation at the Ursuline convent in Quebec, so that she "could someday marry a Frenchman." The Jesuits of Canada dowried her for marrying her frenchman, giving 350 livres to the newlyweds. She was fourteen years old.

Firestone, PhD., M.Eng.-Sci., B.Eng.(Civil), Chair of Hickling Capital Corporation, Adjunct Research Professor, Carleton University and Founder, Ottawa Senators Hockey Club.) Many entrepreneurs are very good at building their businesses. They know how to grow a business often with limited access to financing. They know how to persevere in difficult circumstances and how to push the right buttons in their industry to make their business profitable. However, many business owners fail to optimize the value of their businesses when it comes time to sell it. One local Ottawa based company experienced 15 consecutive years of growth and profitability before running into heavy weather in a recessionary period. The ownership group looked at selling a minority interest in their company to a major competitor for $500,000. At the rate that the company was then losing money, this would have forestalled the inevitable for about three months. Nothing would have been resolved on an operational basis and none of the money injected into the company would have gone to the founders and shareholders. Their advisors suggested instead that they re-analyze the business with a view to: a) identifying and selling unprofitable operations, b) downsizing their head office staff and overheads, c) other operational efficiencies. The result of this work was that the company identified a number of locations that were unprofitable. These outlets were closed and the inventory and leases were sold. Indeed, market conditions were so receptive that the company recaptured a huge proportion of its investment in these losing operations. Head office costs were also dramatically cut. The slimmed down, more focused operation went from seven figure cash losses to seven figure earnings (true cash earnings) within two years. Several years later, the business was successfully sold at a handsome price in an all cash deal. These monies went to the founding shareholders of the company.

The canals which constitute the Saint Lawrence system serve to overcome the rapids which lie between Montreal and the eastern end of Lake Erie. They have a combined length of 70 1/2 miles and a total lockage of 533 feet. Named in order from the east, the canals of the St. Lawrence system are: the Lachine, the Beauharnois, the Soulanges (which to a very large extent replaces the Beauharnois), the Cornwall and the Williamsburg. The Farrans Point, the Rapide Plat and the Galops canals comprise the Williamsburg canal. The Welland canal, connecting Lakes Ontario and Erie, is considered a part of the Saint Lawrence system as is also the smaller Murray canal. THE LACHINE CANAL. - 141. These dimensions were found inadequate and enlargement of the canal was begun in 1840. During enlargement, navigation was not interrupted, the new locks being constructed beside the old ones, and the prism excavated during the closed season. This enlargement was sufficiently complete in 1848 to admit the passage of boats drawing eight and one-half feet of water, but the entire enlargement was not completed until 1862. The dimensions of the canal were then one hundred and twenty feet at water-surface and eighty feet at the bottom, with a navigable depth of nine feet. The locks were 200 feet long, 45 feet wide and nine feet deep on the sills, except the two just above Montreal, which were 16 feet deep on the sills. The cost up to this time was $2,587,532.

Extractions: What Does It All Mean Today? Coat of Arms Included with Charter Grant When a charter was granted to the "Governor and Company of Adventurers of England trading into Hudsons Bay" in 1670, the Company was constituted a sovereign power, subject only to the King. This sovereignty was to be exercised over a vast territory extending eastwards and westwards from Hudson Bay; here the Company held full royal power as the representative of His Majesty and in recognition of this it was granted a coat of arms suited to its dignity. An institution called the College of Heralds was and is responsible for issuing all "Arms". An Achievement Upon the white (silver) shield is a red cross with four black beavers in the four corners. Above the shield is a red cap, of a peculiar shape with a turned up rim which shows the ermine lining. On it is sitting a fox of natural colour. Holding up the shield at each side are two "elks," also naturally coloured. The motto is usually put on a ribbon under the shield. The Hudson's Bay Company motto reads "Pro pelle cutem" for which an approximate English translation is, "For a skin a skin." This whole assemblage, shield, crest, supporters and motto, forms what is technically called an achievement.

Extractions: (Prehistory - 1738) Most researchers agree that the temporary exposure above the ocean of the Bering land bridge brought the first human inhabitants into North America. These peoples followed the migrations of mammoths and other large game. There are four cultures indentified from the archaeological excavations near Lockport, just North of Winnipeg: the Larter, the Laurel, the Blackduck, and the Selkirk cultures. While the first two peoples were hunter-gatherers, the latter cultures used agriculture to supplement their diet, often growing corn, then grinding and even storing it. But by 1500 A.D., cold weather reduced the growing season and seriously compromised native agriculture. By the time the first Europeans arrived, tribes around Winnipeg subsisted primarily off of the bison. Hunting bison was an important event for native peoples. Since horses were nonexistent, aboriginal hunters had to come up with other ways to trap the stampeding beasts. At their peak, there were more than 60 million bison in North America, but it was still difficult to corner them on the flat and treeless prairie. Sometimes hunters dressed in wolf skins, so the bisons would simply ignore them until they could strike with bow and arrow. When a larger band of hunters pursued the bison, they often spent considerable effort building a sort of pound, composing of a V-shaped fence of logs or brush, or even of bison droppings. The bison would be stampeded into the V, towards an enclosure of heavy logs; the hunters would use shouting and flapping blankets to cause a panic. Once caught in the V, the bison were killed. Some tribes chose to release one bull from among the victims, as a gesture of gratitude.

Extractions: Companys Hudsons Bay Company Crest The Hudson's Bay Company was a very big part of the fur trade era. Included also, was the Company of 100 Associates, and The Northwest Trading Company. The Hudson's Bay Company was established in 1670 by two enterprising coureurs des bois, Médard Chouart des Groseilliers and Pierre-Esprit Radisson. They approached the British about setting up a post in the northwest frontier, because the tighter trading laws in New France were too restrictive for unlicensed traders. They built a settlement called Fort Charles, later known as York Factory. It was situated on James Bay in the Hudson Bay region. Before that time, the British traded primarily with the Iroquois natives. After the completion of York Factory, the British fur traders had access to the northern territory and the valuable beaver pelts. The Hudsons Bay company had fierce competition now from the other company, because both wanted control of the fur trade. That started a fur trade war. So the Nor'westers and the Baymen sometimes would do anything to gain control of the fur trade. They would destroy each other's things or bribe the other company's traders with more money. They would even use violence and murder to get more fur. As they competed with the North West Company for furs, the Hudson's Bay men explored much of Canada. Henry Kelsey was the first white explorer to see the buffalo of the western plains. Samuel Hearne set up the first inland trading post at Cumberland House. David Thompson was fifteen when he apprenticed with the Hudson's Bay Company. Later in life, he found the route to the Pacific Ocean via the Columbia River.

During the early years of the fur trade, historians have argued that the James Bay Cree and other northern Indians benefitted from rivalry between opposing fur traders (a view not held today by the Cree). Following the union of the Hudson's Bay Company (HBC) and the North West Company in 1821, the Albany River Cree and their Ojibwe neighbors faced some 80 years of monopoly conditions, until the arrival of Revillon Freres in James Bay in 1903.
