| Summary | "The Beaver, Vol. 1, No. 05, February, 1921" by Hudson's Bay Company is a historical journal published in the early 20th century. This volume serves as a glimpse into the role of the Hudson's Bay Company (H.B.C.) in the development and trade of Canada, particularly focusing on historical accounts, achievements, and cultural reflections related to the fur trade and early Western Canadian society. The opening of this issue provides a detailed account of the steamer "Beaver," significant in the history of British Columbia from 1835 to 1874, illustrating its contributions to settling the region and maintaining order. It outlines the ship's construction, notable voyages, and vital role in trade and communication with Indigenous populations. Additionally, the journal highlights the social context of the era, including early exploration, settlement patterns, and the interplay between European traders and Indigenous peoples, setting the stage for a broader understanding of Canada's socio-economic landscape during that time.
