Description
The Great Lakes fur trade spanned two centuries and thousands of miles, but the story of one particular family, the Cadottes, illuminates the history of trade and trapping while exploring under-researched stories of French-Ojibwe political, social, and economic relations. Multiple generations of Cadottes were involved in the trade, usually working as interpreters and peacemakers, as the region passed from French to British to American control. Focusing on the years 1760 to 1840—the heyday of the Great Lakes fur trade—Robert Silbernagel delves into the lives of the Cadottes, with particular emphasis on the Ojibwe–French Canadian Michel Cadotte and his Ojibwe wife, Equaysayway, who were traders and regional leaders on Madeline Island for nearly forty years. In The Cadottes: A Fur Trade Family on Lake Superior, Silbernagel deepens our understanding of this era with stories of resilient, remarkable people.

Description
"The Cadotte family became involved in the fur trade during the French colonial period, and members of the family played key roles after the British takeover of the region and then during the American period. They worked with the North West Company, the American Fur Company, and other firms; they served in the Revolutionary War, the War of 1812, and in numerous conflicts involving Native peoples, usually working as interpreters and peacemakers rather than combatants. Focusing on the years from 1760 to 1840-the heyday of the Great Lakes fur trade-Robert Silbernagel delves into the history of the Cadottes, with particular emphasis on the Ojibwe-French Canadian Michel Cadotte and his wife, Esquaysayway (also Ojibwe), who for nearly forty years were traders and regional leaders on Madeline Island. Silbernagel sets out to understand the Cadottes through the places where they lived, the geography through which they traveled, the relationships they built, and the activities they engaged in. He studied extensively the Cadottes' journals and travel reports, examined their family ledger books, and met with descendants. In presenting his findings and contextualizing them, he deepens our understanding of the fur trade era."--,Provided by publisher.
