Hey I just moved here and was wondering if anyone on the forum detected the area for fur trade artifacts. I am really interested in the fur trade and am looking for someone to help guide me in this hobby.

Holt, maybe the best place to get started would be the local
library.

Must be some books on the history of your area, and maybe
even a map showing where the trappers would rendezvous
each year.

I know I am working to get some microfilm sent to the local library from Canada. https://www.gov.mb.ca/chc/archives/microfilm/index.html

Check out the book Firearms, traps and tools of the Mountainmen. It’s a great resource. Also cheek out the Museum of the Fur Trade and the Museum of the Mountain Man. One is in Charon , NE and the other in Pinedale, WY. Both Museums have a book section and publish research journals.
