The Grand Portage

Bag om The Grand Portage

The Grand Portage is a historical novel written by Walter O'Meara. The story is set in the late 1700s and follows the journey of a young man named John Tanner, who is kidnapped by a Native American tribe and raised as one of their own. As he grows older, Tanner becomes a skilled hunter and trader, and eventually becomes involved in the fur trade industry. The novel centers around the Grand Portage, a crucial trading post located on the border between modern-day Minnesota and Canada. The Grand Portage was a hub for the fur trade, and played a significant role in the economy and politics of the region during this time period. Throughout the novel, Tanner navigates the complex relationships between the Native American tribes, the French and British fur traders, and the American government. He must also confront his own identity as a white man raised by Native Americans, and the tensions that arise from his dual loyalties. The Grand Portage is a vividly detailed and historically accurate portrayal of life in the fur trade industry during the late 18th century. It is a tale of adventure, love, and betrayal, set against the backdrop of a rapidly changing world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
