Fur Trade in Canada, The
An Illustrated History
by Michael Payne
The fur trade set the tone for European exploration of North America and established the very foundation of Canada. In this book, extensively illustrated with visuals from some of Canada’s most prominent museums and archives, historian Michael Payne explores the personalities and events that shaped this powerful business. This book also details the fur trade’s true origin as a network of trading patterns among Aboriginal peoples. The arrival of European traders forced many to choose sides. All faced horrific consequences for these decisions.
