Early Fur-Trade Forts of the Peace River Area of British Columbia K
Early Fur-trade Forts of the Peace River Area of British Columbia K. R. FLADMARK In the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, the area now known as British Columbia was being approached and penetrated from both land and sea by Europeans intent on trading for furs with the natives of one of the last "untouched" regions of North America. The early mari time fur trade has long been understood as a major influence on the post- contact characteristics of Northwest Coast Indian cultures, and as a result intensively studied by ethnohistorians and "pure" historians alike. Surpris ingly, however, relatively little attention has been devoted to an equivalent understanding of the processes and evolution of the land-based fur trade as it unfolded in British Columbia specifically and as it influenced the interior native peoples. It is my intention simply to describe a body of archival and archaeo logical data from a portion of the interior of B.C. which, if properly exploited, has the potential to provide significant insights into many of these and other problems. These data concern the early ( 1793-1823) fur- trade period in the Peace River valley of northeastern British Columbia. Lying east of the Rocky Mountain divide, the Peace River district often is neglected in modern southwesterly dominated perceptions of this prov ince, but during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries it was at the leading edge of European land-based expansion in Canada and was the main east-west communication route by which new materials and ideas penetrated the intermountain interior. In the remainder of this paper I hope briefly to outline the evolution of the fur trade physical establishment — i.e., forts and trading posts — in the Peace River valley, based on published and unpublished archival data and archaeology.
