I'm looking for information on Hjalmar Nelson Dale, aka H.N. Hamar. His original name was Hjalmar N. Hundhammer, and he left Dale, Norway for Minnesota in 1913. He crossed the Canadian border the following year, and spent four years in Alberta before he travelled to the Northwest Territories. He was a trapper and spent time all over the place; up the Mackenzie River, by Great Slave Lake, then Lynx Lake, the Thelon River, Baker Lake, and most likely Chesterfield Inlet. Then back to the Mackenzie and Great Bear Lake in the early 1930s, where he was based out of Norman Wells. Supposedly there's some info on him in archives in Yellowknife and Ottawa, but I have no idea which. I'd be grateful for any info on the subject.
