Jean Morrison has written a fascinating and important book, full of
drama and colourful historical figures. Rare paintings, drawings, maps
and archival photographs complement her impeccable research and lively
text. Superior Rendezvous-Place encompasses the French
predecessors of Fort William, Native Peoples of the time and the
evolution of the fur trade, with an emphasis on the North West Company
era.
This most important work concludes with details of the reconstruction of
the fort and the development of Old Fort William, one of Ontario's "must
see" attractions.
"Jean Morrison is a natural story teller, and hers is an essential
historical document in the compelling history of Fort William, once the
centre of the North American commercial universe."
- Peter C. Newman, author of Caesars of the Wilderness
"This book is wonderful reading. Jean Morrison's prose is beautiful."
- Carolyn Podruchny, fur trade historian, Newberry Library, Chicago
