Sample Book Insights:

#1 The story of John Johnston, an Irishman, and his Ojibwe wife, Green Prairie Woman, is a passage in the history of mixing blood between Europeans and Indians.

#2 The Hudson’s Bay Company, an English corporation created through royal charter, began operations in 1670. The decades-long conflict between European nations and Native Americans spread from New England to the Appalachian backcountry.

#3 The Hudson’s Bay Company was created in 1670 to trade fur with the Cree Indians. However, when the company sent ships to Hudson’s Bay, they found solid ice, and the ships had to sail south along the coast of Newfoundland to fish. When they returned in August, the Crees had already headed inland.

#4 The English doubled down on Hudson’s Bay. They realized that a successful trade required permanent forts where goods and supplies could be stored over long winters when ice and snow sealed off access to the region.
