Jean-Baptiste Lagimodiere (1778-1855) entered the fur trade as a voyageur around 1800, probably with the Northwest Company; he returned to Canada in 1805 and married Marie-Anne Gaboury the following year. The couple soon embarked for the west, where Jean-Baptiste hunted, trapped, farmed, and frequently acted as a messenger for the Hudson's Bay Company.
This drawing depicts an artist's impression of the couple meeting with some aboriginal people.
