Many Tender Ties: Women in Fur-Trade Society, 1670-1870 - Kirk, Sylvia Van

Clean, tight, unmarked; absolute minimal wear; appears unread; This is the long-neglected story of inter-racial fur trade families and the unique society they developed in Western Canada, 1670-1870. Van Kirk not only demonstrates how important Indian women were to the Canadian fur trade but, by tracing the histories of their half-breed daughter and grand-daughters, shows also how fur-trade society developed and changed over time. In short, by the dimple device of adopting a woman's perspective, Van Kirk has provided an important new viewpoint on the fur trade.
