Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Beaver, Vol. 2: A Journal of Progress; July, 1922
Fort Norman occupies a commanding position on the east side of the Mac kenzie river just above its confluence with the clear, swift flowing Great Bear river, which drains Great Bear lake. On the far side of the Great Bear river looms up that huge precipitous mass of stone and shale known as Bear Rock. The h.b.c. Trading post at Norman, however, has occupied many other positions in its time: on the Mackenzie river itself, and the islands in it, on Bear river, and even on the shores of Great Bear lake, about ninety miles away.
