Although detailed accounts of the fur-trade era have appeared, until recently the rich social history has been ignored. In this book, the fur trade is examined not simply as an economic activity but as a social and cultural complex that was to survive for nearly two centuries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe author traces the development of a mutual dependency between Indian and European traders at the economic level that evolved into a significant cultural exchange as well. Marriages of fur traders to Indian women created bonds that helped advance trade relations. As a result of these many tender ties, there emerged a unique society derived from both Indian and European culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sylvia Van Kirk\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0806118474\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780806118475\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Oklahoma Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/15\/1983\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 314\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.08lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.63h x 6.45w x 0.91d","brand":"Sylvia Van Kirk","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44045194297599,"sku":"9780806118475","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_700373ef-935e-4e4b-ba42-c9d7e2b8ff7f.jpg?v=1684977296","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/many-tender-ties-sylvia-van-kirk-9780806118475","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
