These men, known as Voyageurs or 'travellers,' set out in the late fall hoping to trade a few simple trinkets and tools for thick, valuable beaver skins. Their quest took them deeper and deeper into the wilderness, and their adventures and explorations shaped the history of the North American continent. This is the true story of one of those men" -- p. [4] of cover.
