Hudson Bay Furs
By Mary Lynn Bushong
  

1     The Hudson's Bay Company wanted furs. They went to Canada. They traded with the trappers.
 
2     What was it like for the fur trappers? Men could only trap fur when it was cold because the temperatures made the animals grow thick coats. There were many kinds of animals with fur. Trappers wanted beaver most. Beaver had very soft fur. People in Europe loved it.
 
3     At first, the French traded for it. French traders lived among the native people. They became friends.
 
4     Two French men learned that furs might be better in the far north. The men wanted to have a trading post on Hudson Bay. The man in charge of New France did not want to.
