HENRY, Alexander. Travels & Adventures In Canada and the Indian TerritoriesBetween the Years 1760 and 1776. New Edition, Edited with Notes, Illustrat ive and Biographical, by James Bain.

Alexander Henry (1739-1824) was a fur trader and entrepreneur, born in New Brunswick, New Jersey in what was then British North America, he became a fur-trader at Fort Michilimackinac in 1761. Captured by Native Americans in 1763 in connection with the operations unleashed by Pontiac, he was rescued by Wawatam, an Ojibwa, who had adopted him as a brother. Henry was invited to joinWawatam's extended family during the winter of 1763-64, spent hunting in w hat is now western lower Michigan. Henry's experiences during this winter, described in his memoirs, are a valuable primary source into Native American life during the fur trade era. In 1764 he took part in Colonel John Bradstreet's expedition and in 1770, with Sir William Johnson, the Duke of Gloucester and others, he formed a company to mine copper in the Lake Superior region. Henry was a fur-trader again until 1796 and then became a merchant in Montreal, Quebec in Canada where he lived until his passing in 1824. His Travels and Adventures in Canada and the Indian Territories between the Years 1760 and 1776 (1809; reprinted 1901) is a valuable account of the fur trade and of his adventures at Michilimackinac. Limited to 700 copies, signedby James Bain, this being no. 127.
