Canadian Historic Sites: Occasional Papers in Archaeology and History No. 6
A History of Rocky Mountain House
by Hugh A. Dempsey
Appendix A. Trade Goods
As trade goods have been found in the archaeological excavations at
Rocky Mountain House, a few appropriate lists are presented here. The
first, prepared by David Thompson shortly after arriving at Rocky
Mountain House No. 1 on 31 October 1806, is an inventory of goods on
hand. The second list, dated 5 January 1807, indicates the items traded
to the Peigan Indians. The third list, prepared during the same year, is
a request for goods for the Columbia Department, and is included in
Thompson's "Journal of the Rocky Mountain House, Occurrences, 1806 &
7." The list was probably a standard one used by all North West Company
posts, as there are a number of items which were not ordered. Although
the goods were destined to cross the mountains, they must have been
shipped via Rocky Mountain House and probably reflect the type of goods
handled in the area at the time. The fourth list was prepared by
Alexander Henry and shows the goods handled for the Gros Ventre trade,
both at Rocky Mountain House and Fort Vermilion. Besides this list,
Henry prepared others for the Blood, Peigan and Sarcee Indians, listing
the same items but showing Fort Vermilion as the only outlet.
Among the interesting features of the four early lists is the lack of
any mention of clay pipes, and the limiting of beads to blue, white and
green colours. Also surprising is the presence of such luxury items as
chocolate, coffee, nutmeg and peppermint, probably for the personal use
of the officers.
The fifth list is an invoice of supplies taken to Rocky Mountain
House in 1851 by James Sinclair. This is probably not a complete
inventory of goods handled at that time, but is merely a good sampling.
The sixth list is an inventory of articles left at Rocky Mountain House
after it was closed in 1875. At that time the fort was being kept open
by Angus Fraser, acting as a free trader. The list probably represents a
few basic articles which had been left behind in the event that the fort
should be reopened.
The seventh and final list is part of an inventory of merchandise at
the Hudson's Bay Company's two Bow River posts on 1 May 1878. Although
this is three years after Rocky Mountain House had closed, these two
posts had taken over much of the fort's trade with the Blackfoot and
Stony tribes. Many of the items are undoubtedly the same as those
handled by the earlier post, while some of the luxury items,
particularly at Elbow River post, were later additions for the Mounted
Police trade.
The original list contains several hundred items and includes
inventories of Lesser Slave Lake, Victoria Post, Lac La Biche, Lac Ste.
Anne and Edmonton, as well as the Bow and Elbow river posts. However,
only the items actually stocked on the Bow River at the time of the
inventory are listed, and data from the other posts have been
omitted.
