The book begins with a discussion of the early history of the fur trade in Canada West. The first Europeans to arrive in Canada West were French fur traders, who established trading posts along the St. Lawrence River and the Great Lakes. These fur traders quickly realized that the fur trade could be a lucrative business, and they began to compete with each other for control of the fur trade.

The French and Indian War (1754-1763) had a major impact on the fur trade in Canada West. The war resulted in the British gaining control of Canada West, and the British fur traders quickly took over the fur trade from the French fur traders. The British fur traders continued to compete with each other for control of the fur trade, and they eventually formed a number of large fur trading companies.

The fur trade reached its peak in Canada West in the early 19th century. During this time, the fur trade was a major part of the economy of Canada West, and it employed thousands of people. The fur trade also had a major impact on the development of Canada West, as it helped to open up the west to settlement and exploration.

The decline of the fur trade in Canada West began in the mid-19th century. The decline was caused by a number of factors, including the increasing demand for fur in Europe and the United States, the of new technologies that made it easier to trap fur, and the decline of the beaver population in Canada West. The decline of the fur trade had a major impact on the economy of Canada West, and it led to the decline of many fur trading communities.

This book is a comprehensive history of the fur trade in Canada West. It is a valuable resource for anyone who is interested in the history of Canada West, the fur trade, or the development of Canada.
