The Fur Trade in Canada

The Fur Trade In Canada: An Illustrated History

This book details the history of the fur trade in Canada, and is very informative but reads like a textbook with few exciting bits. What I like about this book is that is does not stop in 1867 but carries on with the history of the fur trade to the present day and talks about more recent history as well. Of course, it does have pictures too which always helps.


In Socials 10, I usually do a review of the fur trade before chapter 4 on Manitoba History. It seems to flow into the story of the Metis. But bits and pieces come up throughout the course, since the fur trade was so pervasive in Canadian history.
