Pearl of the West

Welcome to this historical novel based upon my fifty years of dedicated research into the first recorded non-Native person to enter the Province of Alberta.

Historical records have told us little of the fact that Anthony Henday, contrary to the Hudson's Bay Company policy (as set down by the London Committee) had taken the liberty of becoming attached to a budding young Native girl, our "Pearl of the West."

Here is a dramatic novel that will acquaint you with the harsh realities of the sixteenth century in Canada's vast western frontier, where rules set down in London, England simply did not and could not apply. The truth of the circumstances will be well understood as the Pearl of the West meets with her mate-to-be, who was indeed an HBC trader, on a very specific assignment to meet with far-West tribes, and he was under instructions "not to mix with the Natives."
