Simon Fraser portrait (Toronto Public Library Special Collections, JRR 2750)

Fraser, Simon (1776-1862). Journal of a Voyage from the Rocky Mountains to the Pacific Ocean Performed in the Year 1808 by Simon Fraser.

Simon Fraser, a fur trader and explorer employed by the Montreal-based Northwest Company, charted much of what is now British Columbia. Identified as the best-documented episode in Fraser's career, this first-hand narrative of his explorations describes the physical hardships of the voyage, the landscapes through which he travelled and his relationships with the First Nations he encountered.

Read thec omplete journal online on this site (type "Simon Fraser" and "1808" into the search box above). Or, visit the Profit and Ambition: The Canadian Fur Trade (1779-1821) exhibit at the Canadian Museum of Civilization in Gatineau, Quebec, from September 11, 2009, to September 10, 2010. (Extracts from the journal also appear on the museum site.)

Toronto Public Library's Special Collections also feature other noted Canadian explorers, such as, Cook, Mackenzie, Vancouver, Hudson and Frobisher as well as unique collections material about topics such as the search for the Northwest Passage and Sir William Logan (Geological Survey of Canada).
