Offers insight, using the example of the Chesapeake Bay fur trade,
into how the different elements of transatlantic trade in the
seventeenth century fitted together. This book explores the
development of the fur trade in Chesapeake Bay during the
seventeenth century, and the wide-ranging links that were formed in
a new and extensive transatlantic chain of supply and consumption.
It considers changing fashion in England, the growing demand for
fur, at a time when the Russian fur trade was in decline, examines
native North Americans and their trading and other exchanges with
colonists, and explores the nature of colonial society, including
the commercial ambitions of a varied range of investors. As such,
it outlines the intense rivalry which existed between different
colonies and colonial interests. Although the book argues that fur
never supplanted tobacco as the region's principal export, noting
that the trade declined as new, more profitable sources of supply
were opened up, nevertheless the case of the Chesapeake fur trade
provides an excellent example of how different elements in a new
transatlantic enterprise fitted together and had a profound impact
on each other.
