Previous Issues of Castor Canadensis

The publication began in March 1981 with general information about the Society and upcoming events. It has evolved to become a quarterly issue with articles of interest on Mountain Men as well as Jedediah Strong Smith. As the Society expands its mission in the future so will Castor Canadensis expand its topics.
