Summary "Lords of the North" by Agnes C. Laut is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. This book delves into the adventures and intricacies of life among fur traders in the Canadian wilderness during the 19th century, focusing on the rivalry between the North-West Company and the Hudson's Bay Company. With a backdrop of exploration, conflict, and survival, the story is centered around key characters like Rufus Gillespie and Eric Hamilton, who embody the spirit of the time. The opening of the novel presents us with Rufus Gillespie, a trader for the North-West Company, who reflects on past encounters with legendary figures from the fur trade while waiting for his friend Eric Hamilton in a Quebec City club. Voices of history echo in conversations about past exploits, and Gillespie’s admiration for explorers intertwines with hints of brewing tensions between rival trading factions. In a dramatic twist, when Hamilton finally arrives, he appears disheveled and distraught, having left behind a chaotic scene involving the mysterious disappearance of his wife and child in the wilderness. This alarming inciting incident sets the stage for a gripping quest tied to the challenges of loyalty, courage, and the unforgiving Canadian landscape. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
