Preface

This volume is part of a series of annotated bibliographies in early American history—that is, North America and the Caribbean, from 1492 to 1815. It includes monographs, reference works, exhibition catalogues, and essay collections published between 1971 and 1980 and reviewed in at least one of thirty-one general periodicals and historical journals. Each entry gives the name of the book, its author(s) or editor(s), publisher, date of publication, ISBN and/or OCLC number(s), the Library of Congress call number and/or Dewey class number, the number of times the work has been cited in the journal literature covered by the Thomson ISI Arts and Humanities and Social Science citation indexes, and the number of OCLC member libraries holding the item as of August 2004. Following each detailed citation is a brief summary of the book and a list of journals in which the book has been reviewed. This book is composed of thirty-one thematic chapters, an organizational scheme that presents both significant advantages for the user and predictable difficulties for the bibliographer. Few books fit neatly and completely into a single category. As a result, I have made decisions about the placement of entries based on what I perceived to be the primary subject matter of each book. Quite a few of the books described in this bibliography could easily have been listed under a half-dozen chapter headings. For that reason, subject and author indexes are provided at the end of this book. I have tried to make this bibliography as complete and as useful as possible. It is intended to help researchers and teachers of history get a little better grasp on the explosion of scholarly literature that has marked the past several decades. Space limitations, however, make it impossible to give any book its due; rather, this volume should be a starting point for further investigation.

Examines the role of families among fur trade companies in the St. Lawrence valley and Hudson Bay, particularly the place of children from European men and Indian women. Finds that the Hudson's Bay Company's permanent and remote trading posts encouraged stable relationships, marriage, and a role in the company for the children of Indian women and European men. Contrasts this situation with the North West Company in the more accessible St. Lawrence valley, whose traders maintained closer ties to regions in Britain, and thus did not have permanent relationships with Indian women. Finds that the situation changed as business interests merged, and as more European women, clergy, and educators moved into fur trading areas.
