註釋This two volume set is an autobiographical account of the author's 25 years working with the Hudson's Bay Company. Volume one includes the beginning of McLean's career with the Hudson's Bay Company in 1820 to his post in New Caledonia. Labrador is referenced several times in this volume, with regards to the boundaries of the Hudson's Bay Company's territories, and also to the language spoken by the natives there. Volume two includes descriptions of McLean's journey to Norway house and those posts following it as well as an in-depth discussion of his expedition to the interior of Labrador to find furs and trading opportunities. In his chapters about Labrador, McLean describes the area itself, the inhabitants (including the Nascopie Indians, Esquimaux, and Europeans), the climate, and the languages spoken there.
