Publisher's Synopsis
"The Means And Methods Employed In The Fur Trade On The Upper Lakes, 1763-1796" examines the complex network of commerce and exchange that defined the fur trade in the Great Lakes region during a pivotal period of North American history. From the end of the French and Indian War to the late 18th century, this study delves into the strategies, techniques, and challenges faced by traders, trappers, and indigenous populations involved in this lucrative industry.
Alita Lois Bussard sheds light on the economic, social, and political dimensions of the fur trade, illustrating how it shaped relations between Europeans and Native Americans, and its enduring impact on the development of the Upper Lakes region. This book offers valuable insights into a fascinating chapter of North American history.
