Synopsis
"Beginning with the founding of the Hudson's Bay Company in 1670, the fur trade dominated the development
of the Canadian West. In this book the fur trade is examined not only as an economic activity but as a social and cultural
complex that continued for nearly two centuries. The author traces the development of a mutual economic dependency between
Indian and European traders that evolved into a significant cultural exchange as well. Marriages of fur traders to Indian
women created bonds that helped advance trade relations." (Publisher's note)
