Ronsdale books by Nancy Marguerite Anderson:

1. 1. The HBC Brigades: Culture, conflict and perilous journeys of the fur trade
   2. The York Factory Express

Nancy Marguerite Anderson is Métis, and an accepted member of Métis Nation British Columbia. She is descended from a North West Company voyageur known to have lived and worked in Red River District for many years; a man who crossed the Rocky Mountains with explorer David Thompson, and whose daughter married a Scottish gentleman in the west. Because of her Scottish ancestors’ involvement with the York Factory Express and the HBC Brigades on the Pacific Slopes, she has (to her surprise) become a transportation historian of sorts, writing about the journeys that the Hudson’s Bay Company men made both east and west of the Rocky Mountains.
