The Fur Trade Revisited

Languages : en
Pages : 571
Book Description
The Fur Trade Revisited is a collection of twenty-eight essays selected from the more than fifty presentations made at the Sixth North American Fur Trade Conference held on Mackinac Island, Michigan, in the fall of 1991. Essays contained in this important new interpretive work focus on the history, archaeology, and literature of a fascinating, growing area of scholarly investigation. Underscoring the work's multifaceted approach is an introductory essay by Lily McAuley titled "Memories of a Trapper's Daughter." This vivid and compelling account of the fur-trade life sets a level of quality for what follows. Part one of The Fur Trade Revisited discusses eighteenth-century fur trade intersections with European markets. The essays in part two examine Native people and the strategies they employed to meet demands placed on them by the market for furs. Part three examines the origins, motives, and careers of those who actually participated in the fur trade. Part four focuses attention on the indigenous fur-trade culture and subsequent archaeology in the area around Mackinac Island, Michigan, while part five contains studies focusing on the fur-trade culture in other parts of North America. Part six assesses the fur trade after 1870 and part seven contains evaluations of the critical historical and literary interpretations prevalent in fur-trade scholarship.

Book Description
What happens when you research the Michigan fur trade on Halloween? Katie, Nick, Gary, Helena, and the mysterious new kid, Zach, are about to find out. Author Lynne Smyles, two-time Lakeview Elementary School teacher of the year, breathes life into history in her Michigan History Nightmares series. She does it again with The Michigan Fur Trade...A Hare Raising Adventure. Halloween dawns with the promise of an exciting day. Looking forward to the afternoon's Halloween festivities, Katie's group is anxious to get through their morning research assignment on the Michigan fur trade and start the celebration. Little do they know that their computers have more tricks than treats in store for them. This time the young historians find themselves transported back in time to the seventeenth century where they are captured by pirates, attacked by a bear, and shot through the rapids with voyageurs while learning first-hand about the fur trade in Michigan. Even more disturbing is the fact that they are no longer in possession of the Michigan pen. Meanwhile, Katie and her friends can't help but wonder: Will they ever make it home without the Michigan pen? Help your children learn history with Smyles's Michigan History Nightmare series, targeted to children in third through fifth grades and supporting the Michigan history curriculum.
