by Ryan R. Gale. Softbound, 169 pages, 11" x 8-1/2". The rich history of the Northwest fur trade is brought to life through written words of people who took part in it, the vast amounts of relics they left behind and the work of period artists. Using these resources, the material cultures of the natives, traders, and voyageurs become much clearer. Taken from official company records and journals. Loaded with color pictures and illustrations from collections all around the country.
