The Fur Traders were the first to penetrate the vast unknown areas of North America. In this epic novel of the trade, Reiley tells of hardy French-Canadian voyageurs and haughty lairds from the Scottish Highlands who made the North West Company into the Micro-Soft of its day dominant! Fueled with pemmican, or with pork grease and dried peas, they drove their birch bark canoes over hundreds of miles to get tons of trade goods into the vast North Country and to bring out hundreds of thousands of beaver pelts. This flow of peltries was destined for markets in London via Montreal, Canada.
