Thanks for all of the websites and links guy's. I have learned quite a bit about the voyageurs. They were a rare breed and took a lot of pride in what they did.

I think Gooseberries and Radishes started the fur trade. Treated poorly by officials in Montreal they went over to the English.

Really I think it was started by 16th century fishermen drying their catch, maybe around Newfoundland.
