"Dear Richard...send us a few buffalo tongues": Donald Smith's Fur Trade Contacts and Personal Credit Networks
|
| Abstract |
The author suggests that Montreal's Square Mile neighbourhood was entangled in a web of transcontinental and transnational financial and family network relationships. Specifically, he demonstrates how the history of the Metis and "Half-breed" communities that emerged in the Northwest is relevant to the Square Mile. By reconstructing this history through intimate ties, the author connects the residents of the Square Mile to a rich literature on the personal and family network that sustained the fur trade and the Metis, which in turn sheds new light on the political and economic history of the Square Mile.
