08 Vincent Grant “Silk Worms” NDNAEU 2 & 6
Watch this interview on YouTubeOkay well I what else I’m gonna say is uh I always that the students in whatever you know what ended the fur trade era a worm they discovered the silkworm and they can make silk it could spin those hats on a silk and so that kind of ended they could find the beaver and whatever else I kind of let it happened around 1840 Brown 1840 was kind of phasing out already and I’m sure that trappers whatever else they start becoming guides and whatever else and market hunters they would hunt then take their game whatever they got to the cities or villages and whatever else and trade them or sell them well so kind of went down about 1840 and that’s what that’s what kind of killed it was the silkworms
