Part of James Morrison papers
This series consists of a journal kept by Morrison during two trading journeys from Montreal through the Great Lakes to Toronto, Niagara, Detroit, and Michilimackinac in 1767 and 1769. The journal is a record of Morrison's business transactions conducted during these trips, as well as his day-to-day management of the journey and his team.
The journal was placed in a separate series as it is distinct in form and content from other material in this collection. The journal is a bound volume that contains daily entries with information about weather and travel, as well as accounts, invoices, lists of goods exchanged, and some other notes, including a list of Anishinaabemowin (Ojibwe) vocabulary. Entries in the journal are in rough chronological order.
