A lively recounting of the men who faced a gruelling thousand-mile journey and First Nations people who struggled with the desire to resist, or assist, the fur company's attempts to build their brigade trails. The brigades of the Hudson Bay Company pushed onward over mountains and through ferocious river crossings with their heavily laden packhorse trains to reach the isolated fur-trading posts.
