The Whelps of the Wolf

"The Whelps of the Wolf" by George P. Marsh tells of the history of the Hudson Bay Company in James Bay, Quebec, Canada. Canada is a harsh and often unforgiving territory, and famine is not uncommon for people who aren't prepared. In this book, trappers and foragers must have the fortitude to survive not only the long, cold season but also each other as survival begins to bring out the ugly side in people.
