Fur Trade Guest

Our class was so lucky today! What a great day! Not only was it hot lunch day and casual day and Miss Leonard's "unbirthday". BUT we also had amazing guest speaker!

Miss Roy came to our class this afternoon as a fur trader's wife. She talked to us about everything to do with the fur trade--from Fort St. James to copper kettles. 

We now know all about trapping, hunting, ink pens, china, embroidery, and trade beads.



She told us about tanning hides and wearing corsets.





Thank you sooo much Miss Roy for sharing your knowledge and interests with us!


A Handsome Escort.

Can't stand too close to the dress!
