Publisher's Synopsis
The Fur Bringers: A Story Of The Canadian Northwest is a historical fiction novel written by Hulbert Footner and originally published in 1920. The story is set in the late 18th century in the Canadian Northwest and follows the adventures of a young fur trader named Pierre Radisson. Pierre is a French-Canadian who has left his home in Montreal to make his fortune in the fur trade. He joins a group of traders who are heading west to trade with the Indigenous peoples of the region for valuable furs. Along the way, Pierre faces many challenges, including harsh weather, dangerous animals, and hostile Indigenous groups. As Pierre becomes more experienced in the fur trade, he rises through the ranks of his company and gains the respect of his fellow traders. He also develops a deep appreciation for the Indigenous peoples he encounters and learns about their cultures and traditions. The Fur Bringers is a thrilling adventure story that provides a vivid portrayal of life in the Canadian Northwest during the fur trade era. It is also an insightful exploration of the relationships between European traders and Indigenous peoples, and the impact of colonialism on Indigenous communities.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
