"The fur-trader Roderick McKenzie retired in 1806 and began to collect records for a history of the northwest trade. His son-in-law Masson added to the collection and published some items in Les bourgeois. In 1904 the manuscripts were sold at auction, most items being divided between McGill University and the Canada Archives; a few, including Simon Fraser's journal, were acquired by the T oronto P .L., refs. Canada. Public Archives. Preliminary inventory, manuscript group 19; Toronto. Public Library. Guide to the manuscript collection. Masson exercised considerable license in editing the manuscripts in accordance with nineteenth century practice. The scholar needs to refer back to the originals for the authentic texts.
