The Red Sash
A young Métis boy lives near the fur trading post of Fort William. His father spends the winter months as a guide leading voyageurs into the Northwest to trade for furs. At Rendezvous, the voyageurs paddle back to Fort William with their furs and the North West Company canoes bring supplies for the next season.
The young boy rows to a nearby island and hunts hare for the celebration. While at the island, a storm begins and a canoe carrying a gentleman from the North West Company is caught on the lake. The boy helps the canoe land and takes the gentleman to town in his canoe, earning the voyageur's red sash.
The book includes brief background information on Fort William and a glossary.
