Notes


An account of the history and production of pemmican, with particular attention to its role in the North American fur trade and in Arctic and sub-Arctic travel. The book describes traditional methods of preparing the food, including the drying and grinding of bison or caribou meat and the use of berries and fat in preservation. It also examines pemmican’s importance as a durable provision for traders and explorers, and considers related subjects such as the fur trade economy, the beaver hat trade, the Hudson’s Bay Company, and the historical decline of the buffalo herds.
