GRANT, PETER
He was born in 1764 and died at Lachine in 1848. He was clerk for the North West
Fur Co. in 1784, and became a partner in the firm in 1791. He spent most of his
later life in charge of the Red River department. His trading post was on the
east side of the Red River, just opposite the mouth of the Pembina river, and
was built soon after 1790, and was the first establishment for the North West
Fur Co. on the Red River.
            Henry's Journal, I., 80 and note.
