He traded around the Great Lakes, on the Mississippi and the Minnesota Rivers, and in the Canadian Northwest and is also well known as a partner in Montreal’s North West Company and as mentor to Alexander Mackenzie, who journeyed down the Mackenzie River to the Arctic Sea. Knowing eighteenth-century North America on a scale that few others did, Pond drew some of the earliest maps of western Canada.    In this meticulous biography, David Chapin presents Pond’s life as part of a generation of traders who came of age between the Seven Years’ War and the American Revolution. Pond’s encounters with a plethora of distinct Native cultures over the course of his career shaped his life and defined his reputation. Whereas previous studies have caricatured Pond as quarrelsome and explosive, Chapin presents him as an intellectually curious, proud, talented, and ambitious man, living in a world that could often be quite violent. Chapin draws together a wide range of sources and information in presenting a deeper, more multidimensional portrait and understanding of Pond than hitherto has been available.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52740113596689,"sku":"NIN9780803246324","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":53621510242577,"sku":"CIN0803246323A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780803246324.jpg?v=1763481472"},{"product_id":"freshwater-passages-book-david-chapin-9781496249791","title":"Freshwater Passages","description":"\u003cp\u003eA fur trader and explorer, Peter Pond (1740?1807) became one of the first English-speaking men to see much of North America, traveling its rivers and lakes from Long Island Sound to Great Slave Lake in Canada?s Northwest Territories.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAt sixteen Pond joined the provincial army to fight in the Seven Years?

He tried his hand at seafaring, before turning his attention to the Great Lakes fur trade, exchanging British manufactured goods, tobacco, and rum for furs and skins hunted by members of Algonquian nations. He spent two winters on the Minnesota River trading with Dakotas before setting his sights to the lands of the Cree and Assiniboine in what is now Manitoba and Saskatchewan.
