Hale camp,
Thanks for the dates. But does anyone know if he was born in Scotland
and if so what part? I'm trying to figure if he is an Ancestor.

Subject: MtMan-List: Alexander Roderick McLeod (long)

Gary McLeod <[e-mail]> asked about the birthdate & place of
Alexander Roderick Macleod. I had never been sure whether Alexander Roderick
MacLeod was the son of the notorious North West Company wintering partner
Archibald Norman MacLeod, so I thought this was as good a time as any to
find out. Here's what I found. (The short answer, by the way, is that nobody
seems to know exactly when & where he was born.)

Biography: (Francis & Payne, 166): b. 1782? d. 1840. Joined North West
Company in 1802. Became HBC Chief Trader in Athabasca after 1821 merger with
NWC. Returned to Mackenzie District in 1831. Helped with George Back's
Arctic expedition (1835-1836?). Made Chief Factor in 1836.
Francis & Payne say this info is from Glyndywr Williams' article in the
Dictionary of Canadian Biography, vol. 7, p. 569-570.

At Rocky Mountain House in 1804, Grand Portage in 1821, Ft. Vancouver 1825,
returned to Canada 1839. (Cox, 320n, citing Wallace, 480.)

- --NOT Archibald Norman Macleod's son (Henry 1:277)

- --Kept Dunvegan post (near the city of Peace River, Alberta) journal in 1806
(Francis & Payne, 7)
- --Left Ft. Chipewyan (on Athabasca Lake) with Daniel Harmon, 22 Sept 1808
(Harmon 116)
- --Went to Rocky Mountain Portage House (now Hudson's Hope, B.C.) via
Harmon's Dunvegan post , 7 Sept 1809 (Harmon 124)
- --Was at Rocky Mountain Portage House, but visited Harmon at Dunvegan, along
with John Clarke, for Xmas & New Year's, 6 Jan 1810 (Harmon 125)
- --Was in charge of Rocky Mountain Portage House, 15 Oct 1810, when Daniel
Harmon & John Stuart arrived with the trade goods for the post. (Harmon 129)
- --Was in charge of Rocky Mountain Portage House, 21 Feb 1813 (Harmon 156)

Met up with Ross Cox on Winnipeg R., 27 July 1817; MacLeod was en route to
the Athabasca with 2 canoes.(Cox, 320)

Was in charge of Dunvegan, 1838-1839.  (Francis & Payne, 44)

Character: "Yesterday, Mr. McLeod (who is a good honest generous soul)
returned to his Fort..." 19 Oct 1810, Rocky Mountain Portage (Harmon, 131)
"Yesterday was past much to my mind in the company of my frien Mr. McLeod at
his Fort...this morning I left the Fort myself in company of Mr. McLeod, who
has come here to pass the night with us, but tomorrow morning we must
separate he to return home and we to contiue our route. How pleasing and
satisfactory it is to pass away a few hours in the company of those whom we
esteem and regard!" 23 Mar 1813, west end of Rocky Mountain Portage. (Harmon
159)

Family: Made a will in 1823 before leaving for Mackenzie R. district, to
provide for his "woman" & 4 children. At Ft. Vancouver in June 1828, he made
a will providing for his "legitimate wife" & six children (one child yet
unborn). (Brown, 145)
At Red River (now Winnipeg), his daughter, Sarah, married HBC clerk John
Ballenden in Dec. 1836, at 18. She had been a student at the Red River
Academy. (Sarah Ballenden was later in the middle of a major scandal in Red
River--a story of gossip gone wild.)  (Van Kirk, 211)

As always, the full info on the books I'm citing is available; just ask. I'd
suggest that a search into the family history of Archibald Norman MacLeod
might be helpful in finding out more about Alexander Roderick MacLeod, since
(knowing how the NWC worked) it's very likely they were related, perhaps
cousins or even brothers. (A.N. MacLeod named his son, who was much younger,
Alexander. Coincidence?)

Now a question for you: What did he do in Fort Vancouver & area? And what
are the "biographies of Nunis"? I've heard of Hafen, but this one's new to me.

Your humble & obedient servant,
Angela Gottfred

Subject: MtMan-List: The Great West

Just was paging through a book entitled "The Great West" and found some
interesting descriptions of mountain man life. Thought I would share them
with the rest of you.The book  was published in 1849 and I am not aware of
it ever being re-published. To bad because it contains some very interesting
info. On the mountain trappers:

"Trappers are of two kinds--the "hired hand," and the "free trapper;"the
former is hired for the hunt by the fur company; the latter, supplied with
animals and traps by the company, is paid a certain price for his furs and
peltries. There is, also, the trapper "on his own hook;" but this class is
very small. He has his own animals and traps, hunts where he chooses, and
sells his peltries to whom he pleases.
On starting for the hunt, the trapper fits himself out with the necessary
equipment, either from the Indian trading forts, or form some of the petty
traders---coureurs des bois--- who frequent the western country. This
equipment  usually consists of two or three horses or mules-- one for
saddle, the others for packs--- and six traps, which are carried in a bag of
leather, called a "trapsack". Ammunition, a few pounds of tobacco, dressed
deer skins for moccasins, &c., are carried in a wallet of dressed buffalo
skin, called a possible pack. His "possibles" and "trap sack" are generally
carried on the saddle mule while hunting, the others being packed with the
furs.
The costume of the trappers is a hunting shirt of dressed buckskin,
ornamented with long fringes; pantaloons of the same material, and decorated
with porcupine quills and long fringes down the outside of the leg. A
flexible felt hat and moccasins clothe his extremities. Over his shoulder
and under his right arm hang his powder horn and bullet pouch, in which he
carries his balls, flint, steel, and odds and ends of all kinds. Round the
waist is a belt, in which is stuck a large butcher knife in a buffalo hide
sheath, made fast to the belt by a chain or guard of steel, which, also,
supports a little buckskin case containing a whetstone. A tomahawk is often
added; and, of course, a long heavy rifle is part and parcel of his
equipment. Around his neck hangs his pipe holder, and is generally a "gage
d'amour," and a triumph of squaw workmanship, in the shape of a heart
garnished with beads and porcupine quills."

It goes on to say:

"The beaver is purchased at from two to eight dollars per pound; the Hudsons
Bay Company alone buying it buy the pluie or "plew," that is, the whole
skin, giving a certain price for skins, wether from old beaver, or
"kittens".
The rendezvous is one continued scene of drunkeness, gambling, brawling and
fighting, so long as the money and credit fo the trappers last. Seated,
indian fashion, around the fires, with a blanket spread before them, groups
are seen with there "decks" of cards playing at "eucre," "poker," and "seven
up," the regular mountain games. The stakes are "beaver" which is here
current coin; and when the fur is gone, there horses mules, rifles, and
shirts, hunting packs and breeches are staked. Daring gamblers make the
rounds of the camps challenging each other to play for the trappers highest
stake---his horse, his squaw (if he have one), and as once happened, his
scalp."

Such a neat book this info came out of. It has 50 chapters which cover the
time periods from the French and Indian war to 1849. I don't take it out
very often because it is very fragile. Leather covers and lots of
engravings.

Sorry for not providing the author, it is Henry Howe. Published by the same.
The cover page says:

                                             The Great West
Narratives of the most important and interesting events in western history,
Remarkable individual adventures, sketches of frontier life, descriptions of
natural curiosities.

Some of the chapters are:
French and Indian war
cherokee war
pontiac war
dunmores war
customs and manners of early french settlers
the western wilderness
the natural tunnel
the hard winter of 1780
hunting among the early pioneers
incedents of the fur trade
lewis wetzel
