New england. It was written in 1921. James Truslow Adams had a passage in there saying the bible and the beaver were the two mainstays of the Plymouth Colony in its early years. I had no idea why he had thrown the beaver into the mix. That got me curious. I quickly discovered for the better part of a decade, the main source of income for the pilgrims was trading beaver pelt with local indians and selling them in london. That got me wondering what else i didnt know about the american fur trade. I went down to my local library and started reading books about the fur trade. There was a fascinating history there that could be used to tell an equally fascinating story about American History, using the fur trade to talk about how america was transformed into a transcontinental nation. Now that i have written the book, i am convinced that if you do not understand the basics of the history of the fur trade in america, you cannot really understand American History. It had that big of an impact.
