Urbain Héroux (September 11, 1811 - October 20, 1853) was a French-Canadian employee of the Hudson's Bay Company (HBC), stationed primarily in the Pacific Northwest in the 1830s and 1840s. Héroux was born in Pointe-du-Lac in Lower Canada and baptized in nearby Trois-Rivières. The claim that he was Iroquois is contradicted by the documentary evidence. At the age of 20, he was caught trespassing at a building on a wharf. His original punishment was commuted on the condition he seek employment outside Lower Canada. He was hired by the Hudson's Bay Company in the spring of 1833 and sent to several interior posts. In 1837 he was reappointed to Fort Vancouver, where he met and had at least one child with a Chinookan woman. From here he would serve intermittently at Fort Vancouver, Fort Taku, and

has abstract	Urbain Héroux (11 septembre 1811 - 20 octobre 1853) est un Canadien-français employé par la Compagnie de la Baie d'Hudson (HBC), en poste principalement dans le Nord-ouest du Pacifique dans les années 1830 et 1840. Héroux est né à Pointe-du-Lac, au Bas-Canada, et baptisé à Trois-Rivières. Certain disent qu'il était Iroquois ce qui est contredit par la preuve documentaire. À l'âge de 20 ans, il a été pris pour intrusion dans immeuble sur le quai. Sa peine a été commuée à la condition qu'il chercher un emploi à l'extérieur du Bas-Canada. Il a été embauché par la Compagnie de la Baie d'Hudson au printemps de 1833, et envoyé dans plusieurs postes de l'intérieur. En 1837, il a été rappelé à Fort Vancouver, où il a rencontré et a eu au moins un enfant avec une femme chinooke. De là, il passe de façon intermittente à Fort Vancouver, Fort Taku, et enfin Fort Stikine, où il s'est établi en 1841. Fort Stikine était situé à l'intérieur de la lisère de Stikine, un territoire de l'Amérique russe louée à la HBC par la Compagnie russe d'Amérique. Au cours de sa période au Fort Stikine, il a été surpris à voler de l'alcool par William Glen Rae et est devenu plus tard impliqué dans une dispute avec John McLoughlin fils. Sa relation acrimonieuse a éclaté dans un affrontement qui s'est terminé avec la mort de John fils le 21 avril 1842. George Simpson, qui effectuait inspection générale du département du Columbia, arrive cinq jours après le meurtre. Après une courte enquête, il considère qu'Héroux avait agi en légitime défense, et l'envoya à Novoarkhangelsk plutôt que d'être jugé dans un tribunal au Canada ou au Royaume-Uni. Plusieurs autres hommes ont témoigné plus tard que John était sujet à l'alcoolisme et qu'il avait apparemment essayé de tuer Héroux. Héroux a été relâché en 1843 par le Gestionnaire en chef de l'Amérique russe Arvid Adolf Etholén en raison du désintérêt russe pour l'affaire. Il a été transporté par le Cadboro et, plus tard, le Beaver à Fort Victoria et Fort Vancouver. À partir de là, il se déplaça via le York Factory Express vers Norway House. En 1846, les autorités judiciaires du Canada ont conclu que les frais de transporter Héroux et tous les témoins vers le Royaume-Uni serait trop élevés et ont clos le dossier. Le désintérêt de Simpson pour l'affaire a contribué à une plus grande hostilité avec le facteur en chef John McLoughlin, le père de la victime, et a contribué à sa retraite de l'entreprise. Héroux est retourné à Trois-Rivières et y mourut en 1853.

Héroux was born in Pointe-du-Lac in Lower Canada and baptized in nearby Trois-Rivières. The claim that he was Iroquois is contradicted by the documentary evidence. At the age of 20, he was caught trespassing at a building on a wharf. His original punishment was commuted on the condition he seek employment outside Lower Canada. He was hired by the Hudson's Bay Company in the spring of 1833 and sent to several interior posts. In 1837 he was reappointed to Fort Vancouver, where he met and had at least one child with a Chinookan woman. From here he would serve intermittently at Fort Vancouver, Fort Taku, and finally Fort Stikine, arriving at the final station in 1841. Fort Stikine was located within the Stikine lisière, a territory of Russian America leased to the HBC by the Russian-American Company. Among his other duties he may have served as interpreter. During his time at Fort Stikine, he was caught stealing alcohol by and later became embroiled in disputes with John McLoughlin Jr. These poor relations erupted into a confrontation that ended with John Jr.'s death on 21 April 1842. George Simpson, on a general inspection of the Columbia Department, arrived five days after the killing. After a short investigation he considered Héroux justified, and sent him to Novoarkhangelsk rather than be tried in a court in the Province of Canada or the United Kingdom. Several other men later testified that John Jr. was prone to alcoholism and apparently had tried to kill Héroux. Héroux was released in 1843 by Chief Manager of Russian America Arvid Adolf Etholén due to Russian disinterest in the case. He was transported by the Cadboro and later the Beaver to Fort Victoria and Fort Vancouver. From there he went over the York Factory Express to Norway House. In 1846, legal authorities in Canada concluded that the expense to ship Héroux and all witnesses to the United Kingdom would be too exorbitant and instead closed the case. Simpson's official disinterest in the matter aroused great hostility in his subordinate, Chief Factor John McLoughlin, the father of the victim, and contributed to his eventual retirement from the company. Héroux returned to Trois-Rivières and died there in 1853. (en)
