September 30, 1793
Dear Journal,
I didn’t understand the proses of the fur trade, so I asked one of my friends James, because he works in the industry, this is what I learned.
· The fur trade was continuing in the background while the administrators were busy (of course)
· The Hudson’s Bay Company set up shop along the Hudson’s Bay River (*sigh* I wonder why they called it that?) in 1760
· In the north, the traders wait at their posts for the first nations to arrive with furs
· However in the south, traders use Montreal as their base and travel west in search for furs
· Somehow they started a who can collect the better fur competition
· The North West Company(NWC) is currently in the lead because of their advantages- they had access to top quality furs and that they have metis traders (these are children from trader fathers and native mothers this gave the fathers a trading advantage)
· This is causing traders to explore new lands and discover new cultures
This is very well the best industry to join but I might have to research more into which company is better. I am most likely to join the North West Company. If I am going to be a fur trader.
