The author masterfully relays a story often neglected by conventional histories: how lust for fur trade riches moved monarchs and men to launch expeditions of discovery, finance massive corporate enterprises, and wage war. Deftly weaving cultural and military narratives, the author chronicles how Spanish, Dutch, French, English, and Native American tribes created and betrayed alliances based on trapping and trade disputes, producing a surprisingly complex series of loyalties that endured throughout the Revolution and beyond.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eALAN AXELROD is the author of \u003ci\u003eThe Real History of the American Revolution\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eWhat Every American Should Know about American History\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eElizabeth I, CEO\u003c\/i\u003e, and many other works.
