The story of Pierre Radisson, which is herein related, has passed into history. That he was the first white man to reach the Mississippi, after De Soto, is now admitted. It was he who founded the Hudson's Bay Company, and who opened up the great Northwest to the world, receiving the basest of ingratitude in return. The materials and facts used in this narrative I owe in part to Agnes C. Laut, who has rescued him from oblivion and given him his rightful place in history. The manner of his death no man knows to this day, but it is hard to imagine this world-wandered. | THE CONQUEST 1 THE CONQUEST HENRY BEDFORD-JONES CHAPTER I. CHAPTER II. CHAPTER III. CHAPTER IV.

THE END OF THE LONG TRAIL FOREWORD The story of Pierre Radisson which is herein related has passed into history. That he was the first white man to reach the Mississippi after De Soto is now admitted. It was he who founded the Hudson s Bay Company and who opened up the great Northwest to the world receiving the basest of ingratitude in return. The materials and facts used in this narrative I owe in part to Agnes C. Laut who has rescued him from oblivion and given him his rightful place in history. The manner of his death no man knows to this day but it is hard to imagine this world-wandered dying in his bed in London town one likes to think of him as finding the peace of his heart s desire in the far land which he knew and loved and served so well.
