Henry Kelsey (c. 1667 - 1724), aka the Boy Kelsey, was an English fur trader, explorer, and sailor who played an important role in establishing the Hudson's Bay Company.
Kelsey was born and married in East Greenwich, south-east of central London.[1]
He was employed by HBC (The Hudson's Bay Company) when he was a teen. He travelled with the Cree. During the years 1690 to 1691, Kelsey explored what is now northern Manitoba from Hudson Bay to the Saskatchewan River. He is traditionally believed to be the first recorded white man to see what is now the provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan.
He is the first European known to have seen the prairies, the great buffalo herds, the grizzly bears, and the many Plains tribes.[2]
He returned to England in 1722 and died two years later, being buried in St Alfege's Church, Greenwich, where there is a commemorative plaque to his name.[1]
