- Louis_Primeau abstract "Louis Primeau or Primo (fl. 1749-1800) was one of the first European fur traders on the Churchill River. Little is known of his youth. Morton says that he was born in Quebec of an English father and French mother, but the DCB does not repeat this. Toward the end of the French period he was on the Saskatchewan River at the far western edge of trade and exploration. He spent much time with the Indians, i.e., First Nations people. When the French and Indian War broke out in 1756 most of the French officers were recalled to Quebec but Primeau stayed in the west and tried to maintain the fur trade. In 1765, with the Montreal trade broken down, he appeared at York Factory and joined the Hudson's Bay Company (HBC). From 1765 to 1772 he wintered inland at uncertain locations. In 1767 he was reported on the "Beaver River". If this is the Beaver River (Canada) he was far up the Churchill. In 1768 venereal disease forced him to remain at York Factory. When "Pedlars" (English-speaking Montreal traders) began appearing in the interior he reported their movements and recommended that the HBC build posts inland. The HBC did not fully trust him but needed his woodland skills. In 1772 he and Isaac Batt escorted 160 Indian canoes to York Factory but all but 35 of these were diverted to the Pedlar post on Cedar Lake (Manitoba).In May of 1772 he deserted to the Pedlars and went to Montreal where he entered the service of one of the Frobishers. In 1773/74 he was with Joseph Frobisher on Cumberland Lake near future HBC post of Cumberland House, Saskatchewan. In 1774 he and Joseph Frobisher went north up the Sturgeon-Weir River to Frog Portage where he intercepted the Athabasca Indians coming down the Churchill River to trade with the HBC at Churchill, Manitoba. This loss was one of the reasons that the HBC began to move inland. He was at Frog Portage for three winters. In 1777 he built a post upriver on the Churchill at Lac Île-à-la-Crosse, went down to Montreal and was back at Lac Île-à-la-Crosse the next year.Little is known of his subsequent career. He was on the Kississing River in 1786. He may have been the Primeau who was in charge of the Northwest Company's rival post at Cumberland House in 1798. He is last heard of on the Saskatchewan River in 1800. He was important for helping to open the route to Lake Athabasca and as one of those who transmitted the skills of the coureurs des bois to the English-speaking Northwest Company and Hudson's Bay Company. He was also one of the men who scouted the interior for the HBC before the HBC began to build inland posts.".
