Insightful reading

You would be suprised how little information there is on the marital relationships between white man and native women. Bits and pieces here and there but nothing really solid with which to understand this little part of history. Nothing about them in New England though several tribes have been rendered extinct through intermarriage. Nothing about them in the south. Nothing about them anywhere. This book provides a basis for understanding the process. At the same time it also provides insights into this part of the fur trade. A bit dry in reading but highly informative
