The First Book of The Fur Trade begins at the very origins of clothing, exploring how crude animal skins protected early humans long before the invention of woven fabrics like wool, flax, and silk. It traces how furs transformed over centuries from a basic necessity into medieval status symbols reserved for royalty and wealth. As European animal populations dwindled and demand soared, early explorers turned their eyes across the Atlantic. This engaging living book introduces readers to the roots of a global industry, showing how the search for pelts opened up uncharted lands and sparked the great age of wilderness exploration.
