Excerpt from Fur and the Fur Trade Irving's Astoria; in the records of the Hudson's Bay Company, and in the annals of the fairs held at N ijui Novgorod and Leipsic. Here it may suffice to give some account of the present condition of the trade\ ln fancy furs. The collection of skins is now chiefly a matter of private enterprise. Few, if any, monopolies exist. The Alaska Commercial Conipany, now about ten years old, enjoys some special privilege for the taking of seal skins on the Pribiloff Islands, and some peculiar restrictions exist in Russia in relation to certain peltries, but beyond this, the trade in furs is a free one the world over. Individual enterprise, skill, forecast, and capital, have an open field. The Hudson's Bay Company, with its chief office in London, still maintains its organization, but conducts its. Affairs in North America under no special or royal grant, and com petes in the open market with individual traders throughout Canada, Labrador, Manitoba, and Columbia. Its collection of peltries is offered to the highest bidder at public auction in London, in January, March, and September of each year.

Excerpt from The Fur Trade of America For the past few years, there has been a campaign waged in the United States, which almost charges any one wearing a piece of fur with murder. When that question is asked me, I feel like answering by asking another set of questions Is child birth cruel? Is any type of birth for animals or humans painless Should we abolish all birth and strive for the Nirvana of Nothingness because all birth is at tended with even greater pain than death? Should we cease to fight for right and award honor to the heroes of war, because the triumph of right must necessarily entail death to those who fight for wrong?

Excerpt from The Fur Trade of America and Some of the Men Who Made and Maintain It: Together With Furs and Fur Bearers of Other Continents and Countries and Islands of the Sea It is interesting to learn that the fur industry in America is definitely linked to the fur trade of antiquity, and withal extremely gratifying to note the wonderful progress attained in every detail of the business - the output of the skilled furrier of to-day is essentially un like a fur of the first centuries in every particular except the initial stage - the raw skin.

Excerpt from The Fur Traders and Fur Bearing Animals The author has not attempted to write a new his tory of any part of the Animal Kingdom, but to present in condensed form and simple language authentic information regarding the structural formation, external appearance and distinguishing features of the more important fur-bearing animals; and to show by comprehensive charts and tables the proper grouping, and the relations and affinities each to each, of the different species. Attention has also been given to Fur Farming, and the commercial value of the different skins; the quantities of each used annually by furriers in pursuit of their calling;the processes and methods employed in dressing, dyeing and improving the skins; and the rules by which the experts determine their values. Considerable time has been devoted to the prepara tion of a map showing where the finest specimens of the North American mammals are obtained, and to the compilation of a Lexicon giving the English, French, German and Spanish names of the different animals, and the trade designations applied to the furs made from the various pelts.

Excerpt from The Fur Trade in Northwestern Development As the maritime traders pass off the page of history we admit our indebtedness to them for increased knowledge of our coast geography and for a fleeting glance at the rich possibilities en wrapped in our future, but at the same time we realize that they utterly failed to take advantage of their opportunities or to leave one mark of civilization within our borders. The Astoria venture stands in an unique position. It marks the transition stage. As the scheme was launched it was a com bination of land fur trade and maritime fur trade. The details of its plan are trite. Yet strangely enough so much stress has been laid upon the formation of the central depot at the mouth of the Columbia with auxiliary trading posts on the main stream and branches of that river and the Missouri, and upon the annual ship, which, bringing out the trading goods, should sail to China with the collected furs, that the fact that it included also the prosecution of the maritime trade has been lost to view. Irving, however, tells us that as part of this gigantic, but ill-starred, scheme. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Among the Fur Traders Ninety years ago this account of how the New fur-trading Company came into exist ence, was written by Louis Wills, the only nephew of old John Wills of the X. Y. Company. Imprisoned by the winter in one of his stockaded forts on the Missouri River he set about the task as a pleasant way in which to spend the hours until the waterways were free from ice in the spring. The story is not printed exactly as he wrote it; some of his language has been changed a little, and his many pages of statistics of the fur business have been omitted. Several chap ters devoted to the early ventures in trading for pelts would have been inserted save for the fact that the entertaining information occupied far too much space.
