{"product_id":"many-tender-ties","title":"Many Tender Ties","description":"Beginning with the founding of the Hudson’s Bay Company in 1670, the fur trade dominated the development of the Canadian west. Although detailed accounts of the fur-trade era have appeared, until recently the rich social history has been ignored. In this book, the fur trade is examined not simply as an economic activity but as a social and cultural complex that was to survive for nearly two centuries.\nThe author traces the development of a mutual dependency between Indian and European traders at the economic level that evolved into a significant cultural exchange as well. Marriages of fur traders to Indian women created bonds that helped advance trade relations. As a result of these \"many tender ties,\" there emerged a unique society derived from both Indian and European culture.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0806118474\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0806118474.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Van Kirk\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This copy has clearly been enjoyed—expect noticeable shelf wear and some minor creases to the cover.
