Geographies of Dominion | Fur Trade Empires (North Country Chapter Three Summary and Discussion)


Listen Later

The culture of the fur trade is changing. Britain is picking up the shambles of French Minnesota. The Dakota and the Ojibwe are trying to reckon with this changing climate while staving off illness and the new British social caste. Meanwhile, to the east, rebellious Yankees throw a wrench into the machinations of the fur trade by declaring independence from Britain. Monopolies, river rendezvous, and more excite this chapter of Minnesota history.   

Sam Temple and Logan Ledman discuss and explain Chapter Three of North Country, by Mary Lethert Wingerd.
