Summary
Jessica Stern presents a thoroughly researched and engaging study of the deerskin trade in the colonial Southeast, equally attentive to British American and Southeastern Indian cultures of production, distribution and consumption. Stern upends the long-standing assertion that Native Americans were solely gift givers and the British were modern commercial capitalists.
