In 1795, the Hudson's Bay Company established Edmonton House and the North West Company Fort Augustus a few kilometers downstream from the present-day city of Edmonton. Although both posts were moved several times, they operated side by side as the major administrative, trade, and provisioning centres on the North Saskatchewan River from 1795 to 1821, when the companies merged.

The post journals and district reports from Edmonton House for the period from 1806 to 1821 are reproduced verbatim in this volume.

As Edmonton entered its fourth decade, its future as one of the most profitable Hudson's Bay Company posts seemed secure, but were its best days behind it? In the late 1820s and the 1830s, John Rowand, the imposing figure in charge of the fort, struggled to adapt to the rapidly changing circumstances on the northwestern plains. American traders operating from the Missouri river began to draw off much of the trade of the Plains people, even as the relations among and within Plains nations grew ever more acrimonious. Closer to home, and much to Rowand's frustration, Métis families grew increasingly assertive and independent. Rowand could not find peace within the fort's palisades. Company servants chafed under the heavy hand of an increasingly irascible Rowand. The Edmonton House Journals published here offer a fascinating glimpse at the day-to-day life at one of the HBC's most important trading centres.

1821-1826

During the 1820s, Edmonton House re-emerged as the headquarters of a much larger Saskatchewan trading district of the Hudson's Bay Company. Its fur-gathering hinterland extended from the southern edges of the boreal forest near present-day Westlock, Alberta, south to the Missouri and Yellowstone Rivers, and from the confluence of the North and South Saskatchewan Rivers west to the Rocky Mountains - in short, it contained virtually all of what is now central and southern Alberta, and parts of Saskatchewan and Montana as well.

The principal clients who came to trade at Edmonton House were bands of the various First Nations who occupied these territories, including Cree, Blackfoot, Iroquois, Peigan, Sarcee, Stoney and Gros Ventre, and the growing population of Métis.

A history of St. Stephen's College, this book tells the stories, not only of the college, the theological students and the faculty who have worked there, but also of the high school, university and nursing students who, for many years, called the college residence home.

Fort Edmonton, a prairie institution and icon from 1795 -1915, was not just a physical edifice and community---it was a touchstone of western Canadian commercial history, leading to the founding of a strong prosperous city.

Over the years, a wealth of written descriptions of the Fort was produced. A rich body of visual representations was also created. It is from the accumulation of all these documents that the fascinating story of Fort Edmonton is pieced together and told in all its glory.
