Toast to the Fur Trade: A Picture Essay on Its Material

Rating:
Summary: Part of Minnesota's Heritage.
Review: Toast To The Fur Trade is a fine book written by a man who obviously researched his subject thoroughly. My autographed original makes a great addition to the coffee table, where it sparks conversations on people's experiences in the Boundary Waters. This is the kind of book that should be available to Minnesota kids who'll page through and have their curiosity piqued, inspiring them to learn more about their rich Voyageur heritage. Though out of print, I believe copies can still be obtained by contacting the author's son, Jon Wheeler of Wheeler Productions, Stillwater, MN. --Christopher Bonn Jonnes, author of Wake Up Dead.
