		In 1783 Rev. Thomas Wood of Nova Scotia, having become acquainted with the Abbé Maillard and obtained the use of his Micmac manuscript, applied himself to the study of the language, dividing his ministrations thenceforth between the Indians and the whites until his death in 1778.

	THE GLACIAL LAKE AGASSIZ--Chapter XI
		[p.618] The population of Manitoba, according to the census of 1881, was 69,954; and in 1891 it was estimated to be 150,000.
		In Manitoba 12,705 acres were planted with potatoes in 1891, yielding 2,291,982 bushels, or an average of 180.4 bushels per acre.
		Besides the outcrops of the bed-rock which thus supply lime, it is conveniently obtained by collecting and burning limestone bowlders that [p.627] occur in the glacial drift throughout all the prairie district of Lake Agassiz and the adjoining country, having been originally derived from these rock formations and distributed by the currents of the ice-sheet.

	Hbc Heritage - Our History - Transportation & Technology - The York Boat
		For over a century the York boat was the main mode of transportation between the inland trading posts and York Factory, the major transshipment point at the mouth of the Hayes River on Hudson Bay.
		York boats were well adapted to northern conditions as well: they could travel in bad weather and weren't affected by the sharp edges of ice floes.
		The coming of the railway to the west, and the dwindling importance of York Factory itself, saw to their inevitable decline.

	Explorers of Canada, Part XXII: Anthony Henday
		However, the chief was unimpressed with the effort, as he didn't want his people to face the danger of travelling east as they were dependent on bison flesh.
		Although his mission was a failure it gave a clear message to the Hudson's Bay Company that the company needed restructuring, as its isolation was harmful to its monopoly, and that it was way behind the French traders who went to the native nations rather then the Bay's policy which was the other way around.
		Dissatisfied that his important, although unsuccessful, missions were not given their credit by the company, he quit Hudson's Bay Company in 1762, and it is most probable he returned to England, even though it isn't a certainty.
