Produced by Nick Hodson of London, England "Fort Desolation: Red Indians and Fur Traders of Rupert's Land" by R. M. Ballantyne is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The narrative centers around John (Jack) Robinson, an aspiring fur trader who finds himself navigating the challenges of life in the Canadian wilderness after moving to the remote Fort Desolation. The book explores themes of solitude, adventure, and the resilience of the human spirit as Jack engages with the rough lifestyle of the outer fringes of society. The opening of the book introduces us to Jack Robinson, a man with a romantic heart despite his unremarkable exterior. As he settles into his new life at Fort Desolation, Jack reflects on his past adventures and the difficulty of life as an "outskirter"—a term representing those living on the edges of civilization. We see him grappling with his feelings of loneliness and the ups and downs of his quest for success in fur trading. The arrival of a letter from a former partner opens the door to new opportunities, leading Jack to venture into the wild, showcasing both the harsh realities of his new environment and the adventurous spirit that drives him forward.
