The character and influence of the Indian trade in Wisconsin

Descripción

Frederick Jackson Turner (1861-1932) was one of the best known historians in America, based at the University of Wisconsin until 1910, and then at Harvard. In this long paper Turner first discusses Indian trade throughout all regions of America, then focuses on Wisconsin. Included are the eras of French, British and American fur traders in Wisconsin, as he follows the story through about 1820.
