Helmcken House
On his voyage to York factory, Dr. Helmcken learned the card game Whist, to later become a much enjoyed pass time: “Chief Factor Hargrave and Mrs. Hargrave and nurse were passengers also – so the Captain and the above and I had a rubber of whist every night, when possible. I knew nothing about whist, but they broke me in and account was kept of the games with the debt and so forth! At the end of the journey, I had only four shillings to pay!”
John Helmcken (BCARS: ADD.MSS.505, V.12)

540. Hargrave, Joseph James. RED RIVER. Montreal. John Lovell. 1871. 21cm.
xvi, [17]-506pp. Lists. Green cloth. A history drawn from an extensive
collection of books, letters, official documents and other papers collected
by the author’s father, a longtime Hudson’s Bay Company employee. His
uncle, HBC Governor William Mactavish, was his editor, resulting in one of
the best books ever written on the settlement. To capitalize on the
interest generated by the 1870 rebellion, the book was released early – so
early that on page 174 there are blanks where population statistics should
be.
