About this listen
In an era of grand risk, fur moguls vied to command the northwest and China markets, gambling lives and capital on the price of beaver pelts, purchases of ships and trade goods, international commerce laws, and the effects of war.

This is a book I will need to come back to once I have read other books on the subject area.

This is not an easy read. Covering a huge area of place and time as well as personalities, it requires concentration to follow all of the subject matter. Narrator Bill Nevitt's clearly enunciated reading, performed with steady pace, makes this as easy as it can be. A book to marvel at - individuals driven and daring, and stupidity and rivalry also.
An enormous amount of research has gone into compiling this book. The Fur Trade Gamble is not a book for everyone, but if reconstructed historic records of place, time and men's achievement, even in the face of failure, are of interest then this book comes highly recommended.
