About the author
Born in Ontario in 1871 and raised in Winnipeg, she grew up while the city was still a frontier community. That setting helped shape her lifelong interest in explorers, fur traders, settlers, and the making of Canada.
She studied at the University of Manitoba, taught school, and worked as an editorial writer for the Manitoba Free Press before building a wider career as a journalist and author. Over the years she wrote novels, histories, and travel-related works, becoming especially known for lively popular books about the Canadian Northwest, the Hudson's Bay Company, and the North American West.
She later lived much of her life in the United States and continued writing on historical and public issues. Agnes C. Laut died in 1936, leaving behind a large body of work that brought Canadian and western history to a broad general audience.
