Streeter 3648. Sabin 72259. Field 1312. Robson was Surveyor and Supervisor of Buildings to the Hudson's Bay Company. In this position he was able to develop an intimate knowledge of the locality and personnel of the Company. Robson became involved in the campaign mounted by Arthur Dobbs against the Hudson Bay Company, and he gave evidence before the parliamentary committee of 1749 investigating the trade of Hudson Bay. His statements were moderately critical of the company, which he thought adopted too harsh a trade standard with the Indians, the reluctance to expand inland, and castigated the factors at York and Churchill for their amateurish interference with construction work at the forts. This impression is confirmed by Robson himself in this book.
