Synopsis
A surprising and sweeping history that reveals the fur trade to be the driving force behind conquest, colonization, and revolution in early America
Combining the epic saga of Hampton Sides's Blood and Thunder with the natural history of Mark Kurlansky's Cod, popular historian Alan Axelrod reveals the astonishingly vital role a small animal--the beaver--played in the creation of our nation. The author masterfully relays a story often neglected by conventional histories: how lust for fur trade riches moved monarchs and men to launch expeditions of discovery, finance massive corporate enterprises, and wage war. Deftly weaving cultural and military narratives, the author chronicles how Spanish, Dutch, French, English, and Native American tribes created and betrayed alliances based on trapping and trade disputes, producing a surprisingly complex series of loyalties that endured throughout the Revolution and beyond.Les informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.

In this sweeping narrative, Alan Axelrod returns with a masterful history of how the lust for fur trade riches moved monarchs and men to launch expeditions of discovery, finance massive corporate enterprises, and wage war. Beginning with the earliest expeditions into the New World and taking us through the American Revolution and beyond, the author deftly weaves together cultural and military histories to chronicle how the American frontier served as an arena in which Spanish, Portuguese, French, Dutch, and English explorers, trappers, and settlers sought control over lucrative trade in this virgin land. Axelrod digs deep beneath the often monolithic portrayals of Native American tribes and European combatants to reveal the ever~evolving political, diplomatic, cultural, economic, sexual, and military alliances as they created, betrayed, and shaped the changing face of a nascent nation. Combining the epic saga of Hampton Sides's Blood and Thunder with the encompassing natural histories of Mark Kurlansky, A Savage Empire is a rugged and~revealing look at how the fur trade was a driving force behind the formation of the colonies and the battles of the American Revolution.
