The published book has many many pictures, where the volume and size of those pictures would eat up most of the available memory on this site.
This is one of the best trade guns that we have ever had the pleasure of looking at, an Indian Trade Gun by Barnett. (Museum of the Fur Trade).

I have revived my old catalogs (both versions of

"Clark & Sons Mercantile" and "Clark & Sons Emporium"



Success in the North American Fur Trade. Clark_13

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Soon "Success in the North American Fur Trade" along with "Clark & Sons Mercantile" and "Clark & Sons Emporium" will join "The Point Blanket Series of articles & books".

I am now working on a new book that an old friend and I had started with articles about edibles foraged and cultivated in the Stoney Mountains (original name referred to by Thomas Jefferson when talking about today's Rocky Mountains).

Series Description:
From the mid 1600's to the late 1900's, living history and muzzleloader shooters have been the main topic among those interested in history, now revived in this century.

The only difference in some cases is the change in improvement in design over the years. Some of the largest quantities being supplied in the mid 1700's in the Eastern part of North America was with the American Colonies being involved. New York State alone had trade within the colonies as well as into Canada from late 1640's to mid-1850's according to supply records from HBC and the Northwest Co., by the mid 1700's they were providing a supply of repair parts and service at several of the trading posts within the U.S., as well as Canada through their traders".

We will try and provide you with the most accurate documented information from our research done over a 50-year period in this series of books. Thank you for your time.

A REVIEW: SUCCESS IN THE NORTH AMERICAN FUR TRADE

The title of this book suggests that it is all about a successful business venture and, in fact, it really is. But more specifically it is about the success of just one item which was born during the early part of the fur trade years and used for many years after that, this single item is the Northwest Gun. This book, written by Barry “Buck” Conner, in a real big way continues where Charles Hanson’s book The Northwest Gun left off.

In fact, this new book falls back at times to include some of the information and original photographs that were in The Northwest Gun, supplied by Mr. Hanson. This isn’t done in a “copying” way at all and some of the letters and conversations between the author and Charles Hanson are also included in this new book. In addition to that, all of the information in this new book expands or adds to the facts that were previously written.

Success In The North American Fur Trade is a book divided into 19 chapters. It is not a book that a person will normally read from cover to cover, this book is full of facts and typically a reader will look up the points that are interesting at the moment and go to that particular chapter or pages. Both Charley and Curly felt this should be a research book rather than another book on an old weapon. Included near the end of the book is a chapter about “Planning A NW Gun” which goes into today’s sources of parts, kits, guns “in the white” or complete guns. There isn’t any area where this new book is found lacking.

SIDE NOTE
I personally think that Mike Nesbitt has been in a slump for several years. He rewrites the same articles he published ten - twenty years ago.  That's too bad, use to be a fan, not so much now folks.

That was a nice review he did on the trade gun book, but like said about his writings (that review was done in 2005).
