I did a little rephrasing of the "Early life" section, primarily towards names. Feel free to revert or adjust it!
he was recruited by Simon McTavish— into what?
While there, he married Charlotte, who was the daughter of John Thomas, the chief of the HBC stationed at Moose Factory.— To clarify that this happened around Hayes Island/Moose Factory, I was thinking: "He often travelled to Hayes Island, near which he married Charlotte, who was the daughter of John Thomas, HBC's chief within Moose Factory."
in the interior— of what?
Earwig shows a remarkably low score of 12%, great work paraphrasing! Everything is cited inline and all sources are reliable.
A look at Google Scholar and Google Books shows only mentions, or sources that are already in use. McTavish has an entry in the Dictionary of Manitoba Biography, but it doesn't seem to stray from the DCB.
This guy seems a bit unsavory, but the article is perfectly objective and impartial.
No recent content disputes or edit wars.
There seems to be a sketch/portrait of McTavish in the book John Rae, Arctic Explorer: The Unfinished Autobiography, but I am not confident. I won't pause the review for it, but I'll try to get the book soon. Otherwise, there doesn't seem to be any other readily available images, so this is still a pass.
A lovely little companion piece to Matsookie, great work!
