Morris Moss
Morris Moss (May 31, 1842 - 1896) was a British Columbian colonist and Canadian pioneer. == Early life == Morris Moss was born on May 31, 1842 to a well-off Jewish family in London, England. He was educated at University College and at age nineteen he travelled to Victoria, by way of Panama and San Francisco, to act as that city's agent of Liebes and Co., well-known fur traders at the time. However, looking for more adventure, Moss followed in the steps of the pioneer Sir Alexander Mackenzie and set up a trading post at Bella Coola, where Mackenzie had reached overland from Canada in 1793. Smallpox had killed 90% of the population near Bella Coola, but Moss persisted and ran pack trains through to the miners at Barkerville and other gold-mining boomtowns around Williams Creek. Unlike many white pioneers, Moss respected the customs of the natives and did not marry any of their women.〔(Pioneers, Pedlars and Prayer Shawls : the Jewish communities in British Columbia and the Yukon ).
