Not North West Company

North West Trading Company, was not the same as North West Company. "The first European, George Dickinson, an agent for the North West Trading Company, settled at Dtehshuh in 1880." NWC merged with HBC in 1821!

'Schulze appears to have rounded up some fellow railroad investors, including Henry Villard, to finance his new "Northwest Trading Company", not related to the former Canadian fur trading of the same name.' 'The Northwest Trading Company presents itself as an ambitious firm, organized in Portland, Oregon, which sought to establish a foothold in the newly purchased (1867) and rapidly developing Alaska Territory.' See: http://www.backwater.org/herring/history/NorthwestTrading.html

There are also today at least two firms named NWTC; one in Ontario, and one in Scotland.
