Good Luck, I have been looking for a good deal on one for awhile and found
that the more basic a muzzleloader is the more it costs. Best I found new
was in kit form and it was still over $400.00 unless you want to go with the
mass produced cva shotgun, 12 gauge, cap gun. I was thinking of purchasing
one of these and stripping the stock and pulling off the plastic butt plate
and dinging it up and then stripping the metal and browning it. Wrapping
real sinew around the pistol grip area and around the forestock. Just
thinking out loud.

If I recall correctly, Kane didn't actually work for the HBC, he was just a
freeloading hitchhiker who sweet-talked George Simpson into letting him tag
along so he could be the Canadian George Catlin.
Other HBC & Canadian fur trade artists active before 1840:
William Richards, c. 1806-- painted a view of York Factory, and "A Man and
his wife carrying a load of partridges to their tent"
John Halkett, c. 1822-- HBC executive tossed off a watercolour sketch of his
'Canot du Maitre' (Montreal canoe).
For works by these artists, see:
Gilman, Carolyn. _Where Two Worlds Meet: The Great Lakes Fur Trade_.
Minnesota Historical Society : St. Paul, 1982. ISBN 0-87351-156-5.
Newman, Peter C. An Illustrated History of the Hudson's Bay Company
(formerly Empire of the Bay). Viking Studio/Madison Press : Toronto, 1995.
ISBN 0-670-86534-6.
Williams, Glyndwyr. 'The Hudson's Bay Company and the Fur Trade :
1670-1820', _The Beaver_, Autumn 1983. Reprinted 1991.
Peter Rindisbacher, c. 1822-- Swiss colonist for Lord Selkirk's settlement
at Red River, Manitoba. Often imitated, never equalled. Josephy, Alvin M.
(Jr.). _The Artist Was a Young Man : The Life Story of Peter Rindisbacher_.
Amon Carter Museum : Fort Worth, Texas, 1970.
George Back, 1819-1823, and Robert Hood, 1819-1821-- midshipmen & artists on
Lt. John Franklin's overland arctic expedition. Color plates of their
sketches are reproduced in their journals:
Back, Admiral Sir George. _Arctic Artist : The Journal and Paintings of
George Back, Midshipman with Franklin, 1819-1822_. C. Stuart Houston, ed.
Commentary by I. S. McLaren. McGill-Queen's University Press : Montreal,
1994. ISBN 0-7735-1181-4
Hood, Robert _To the Arctic by Canoe 1819-1821 : The Journal and Paintings
of Robert Hood, Midshipman with Franklin_. C. Stuart Houston, ed.
McGill-Queen's University Press : Montreal, 1974. ISBN 1-7735-1222-5.
After 1840, but still active during the fur trade era:
Frances Ann Hopkins
William Armstrong
Modern artists who have recreated historic fur trade scenes:
Frederic Remington
Charles Comfort
Walter Phillips
and last but not least,
C.W. Jefferys
I'm sure other folks will have more to add to this list!
Your humble & obedient servant,
