Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fur and the Fur Trade Cuttings of fancy furs from the workshops of furriers are all saved, and find their way to the machinery which utilizes the waste and transforms them into hatters' furs. But of all these fur marts that of London is the chief, for thither tend by the laws of trade, not only much of the produce of Asia and Europe, but also the fine peltries of Chili and Peru, the nutria from Buenos Ayres, the fur seal of Cape Horn and South Shetland, the hair seal from Newfoundland, as well as the inferior peltries of Africa. To prepare fur skins in a way to endure this long transportation is asimple and easy matter. When stripped from the animal the esh and fat are carefully removed, and the pelts hung in a cool place to dry and harden nothing is added to protect them. Care is taken that they do not heat after packing, and that they are occasionally beaten to destroy worms. A marked exception is the case of the fur seal, which is best preserved by liberal salting and packing in hogsheads. All other raw furs are marketed in bales.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Fur Trade of America For the past few years, there has been a campaign waged in the United States, which almost charges any one wearing a piece of fur with murder. When that question is asked me, I feel like answering by asking another set of questions Is child birth cruel? Is any type of birth for animals or humans painless Should we abolish all birth and strive for the Nirvana of Nothingness because all birth is at tended with even greater pain than death? Should we cease to fight for right and award honor to the heroes of war, because the triumph of right must necessarily entail death to those who fight for wrong?

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Fur Trade of America and Some of the Men Who Made and Maintain It: Together With Furs and Fur Bearers of Other Continents and Countries and Island of the Sea It is interesting to learn that the fur industry in America is definitely linked to the fur trade of antiquity, and withal extremely gratifying to note the wonderful progress attained in every detail of the business - the output of the skilled furrier of to-day is essentially un like a fur of the first centuries in every particular except the initial stage - the raw skin. The inspired historian of first things, events follow ing the renewal of the earth in anticipation of the advent of man, assures us that very near the beginning fur formed an essential, effective and important part of the apparel of the human race; and this record has remained uncontradicted by the critical or the curious during the six thousand years, more or less, this little planet has been running its ordered course around the sun. It may seem to be an insignificant matter to engage the pen of an inspired writer, but it should be noted that it first measurably charged the mind of the Creator, hands as well as mind, by whom all things, from least to greatest, were created for the possession and peace of the one creature made in His own image.

This book was released on 2018-01-04 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Fur Trade in Northwestern Development As the maritime traders pass off the page of history we admit our indebtedness to them for increased knowledge of our coast geography and for a fleeting glance at the rich possibilities en wrapped in our future, but at the same time we realize that they utterly failed to take advantage of their opportunities or to leave one mark of civilization within our borders. The Astoria venture stands in an unique position. It marks the transition stage. As the scheme was launched it was a com bination of land fur trade and maritime fur trade. The details of its plan are trite. Yet strangely enough so much stress has been laid upon the formation of the central depot at the mouth of the Columbia with auxiliary trading posts on the main stream and branches of that river and the Missouri, and upon the annual ship, which, bringing out the trading goods, should sail to China with the collected furs, that the fact that it included also the prosecution of the maritime trade has been lost to view. Irving, however, tells us that as part of this gigantic, but ill-starred, scheme. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Co-Operation in the Regulation of the Fur Trade One oi the principal results oi this policy oi control of all shipments is a very great diminution in the M 7 number oi lure taken illegally; for it is now useless to buy them from the trappers. Seeing iat they could not be disposed of; none of our officers will stamp ture which have evidently been taken out of season. The lur dealers are most anxious to second our efforts in this direction. Because the purchase of furs taken out of season is a detriment to the fur trade. Furthermore. These changes in the law permit dealers to conduct the trade openly and to sell their furs like all other traders without fearing the surveillance of the government officers. They have only to buy their license. Have their lure stamped. 1: the royalty. And their trade is as tree as that oi any other branch of commerce.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Fur Traders and Fur Bearing Animals The author has not attempted to write a new his tory of any part of the Animal Kingdom, but to present in condensed form and simple language authentic information regarding the structural formation, external appearance and distinguishing features of the more important fur-bearing animals; and to show by comprehensive charts and tables the proper grouping, and the relations and affinities each to each, of the different species. Attention has also been given to Fur Farming, and the commercial value of the different skins; the quantities of each used annually by furriers in pursuit of their calling;the processes and methods employed in dressing, dyeing and improving the skins; and the rules by which the experts determine their values. Considerable time has been devoted to the prepara tion of a map showing where the finest specimens of the North American mammals are obtained, and to the compilation of a Lexicon giving the English, French, German and Spanish names of the different animals, and the trade designations applied to the furs made from the various pelts.
