BEAVER, KINGS AND CABINS

by Constance L. Skinner ‧ RELEASE DATE: Sept. 12, 1933

A history of the fur trade in America, based on the premise that it was the significant factor in our national development at one time. The substance of an important book is there; the spirit is lacking. It seems disappointingly uninspired. The author, though she knows the fur trade at close range, through her childhood in northern British Columbia, has somehow failed to capture the essential spirit of adventure and romance and drama. The treatment seems ineffectual, rambling, discursive, lacking in continuity and interest.
