Description

From the moment survivors of Captain Cook’s third voyage of discovery found that sea otter skins procured from the Northwest Coast Indians would bring $100 apiece on the Chinese market| the future of the coast| the Indians| and the sea otters was irrevocably altered. Tom Clark’s serial poetic history of the maritime fur trade (1785-1810) documents and elaborates that change| linking white world fur traders with indigenes in extended metaphors of contact and confrontation.
