Strangers in Blood

Fur Trade Company Families in Indian Country

by Jennifer S. H. Brown

tagged: native american, native american studies
Description

The North American fur trade of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries was a vividly complex and changing social world. Strangers in Blood fills a major gap in fur trade literature by systematically examining the traders as a group – their backgrounds, social patterns, domestic lives and families, and the problems of their offspring.
