RE: J'ai Trop Grand Peur Des Loups (above) and another Mudcat thread –

“Edward Ermatinger, fur trader with the Hudson's Bay Company, heard and took down this song c.1830, while traveling with voyageurs, along with ten other songs. These were the first folk songs recorded from Canada.

Marius Barbeau, 1954, The Ermatinger Collection of Voyageur Songs, JAFL, vol. 67, no. 264, 1954. Also p. 159, En Roulant Ma Boule.”
