History Alive! the Canadian Milice Fur Trade
Advertisement
The fur trade was one of the many contributing factors of the French/British conflict in western Pennsylvania in the mid-18th century. Historical interpreters Jake Kirsch and Matt Moore will share their knowledge of the Canadian Milice (militia) and the French fur trade, giving us a better understanding of the French combatants of the Battle of the Monongahela, and the lives of the colonists of New France.
