Directed by Harold M. Wyckoff

Synopsis: In July of 1919, two cameramen from New York City set out to film Canada's northern wilderness. They first boarded Canada's most famous icebreaker, the HMS Nascopie, and headed from Montreal toward the Arctic Circle. Commissioned by the Hudson's Bay Company, the filmmakers were tasked with capturing life as a fur trader, a snapshot of the Company. By the time they completed filming at the end of December, they'd gathered 75,000 feet of film. The Romance of the Far Fur Country premiered on May 23, 1920, in Winnipeg, before touring Western Canada and additional screenings in Europe.
