Category:Fur traders from the Thirteen Colonies
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fur traders from the Thirteen Colonies (1607–1776), people dealing in the acquisition and sale of animal fur. Since the establishment of a world fur market in the early modern period, furs of boreal, polar and cold temperate mammalian animals have been the most valued. Historically the trade stimulated the exploration and colonization of Siberia, northern North America, and the South Shetland and South Sandwich Islands.
