The Voyageurs

Our thanks to Gerry for this (video, 1952). From the video description:

“This short film tells the tale of the men who drove big freighter canoes into the wilderness in the days when the fur trade was Canada’s biggest business. The film recreates scenes of the early 19th century with a soundtrack by an all-male chorus. Directed by Bernard Gosselin – 1964.”
