KITTSON, NORMAN WOLFRED - He was born in 1814 at Sorel, QC, the grandson of Alexander Henry, a celebrated explorer of the 1770's. In 1830, at the age of only 16, Kittson engaged as an employee of the American Fur Company, and was stationed at the trading post between the Fox and Wisconsin Rivers between 1830-32. In 1834, Kittson came to Fort Snelling where he was engaged in the sutler department until 1838. After spending the winter in Canada, he returned to St. Paul on his own business, as a fur trader, near what was then called
"Cold Spring". He continued there until 1843, when he reentered the American Fur Company as a special partner, having charge of all the business on the headwaters of the Mississippi. During that year, he set his headquarters in Pembina, and shipped large quantities of furs by Red River Carts. This was the origin of the heavy trade that ensued between the Red River and St. Paul in later years.
In 1854, Kittson entered into partnership with William H. Forbes in St. Paul, in the general Indian Trade and Supply business, which was well-known in St. Paul and referred to as "The St. Paul Outfit". In 1843, he had purchased a claim that in 1851, he laid out as "Kittson's Addition". In 1851, he had been elected a member of the Council of the Minnesota Legislature from Pembina, and served until 1855. In 1858, he was elected Mayor of St. Paul, the last time he served in public office. He was married to Louise Marion, and had at least one daughter, Lucie (1849-1853), who was buried in Pembina.
Kittson continued in his Red River trade until 1860, and soon after accepted the position of Agent of the Hudson's Bay Company, and established a line of steamers and barges on the Red River, a firm which became the very successful "Red River Transportation Company". [WM47-49, LR1570]
