Biographical History
Angus McDonald was born in Scotland in 1816, and came to Fort Colville in what is now the state of Washington in the fall of 1839 as a trader for the Hudson's Bay Company. He went to Fort Hall in what is now Idaho in 1840. In 1842, he married a Nez Percé woman, Catherine, at Fort Hall; their marriage was solemnized by a Jesuit missionary in 1854. They had twelve children between 1845 and 1871: Duncan, John Christina, Donald, Anne, Margaret, Thomas, Alexander, Archibald, Joseph, Angus Colville, and Mary. Angus also had another son, Angus Pierre, by another Native American woman. Angus McDonald was sent to Fort Connah on the Flathead Reservation in 1847 and set up his own family home nearby at Post Creek. In 1871, McDonald retired from Hudson's Bay, which was closing down its U.S. operations, and settled back on the family home at Post Creek. He had a lifelong interest and education in English literature, particularly Shakespeare. He died in 1889.
