they thought it looked trendy... can u believe that???
In fact, before the invention of the umbrella, the beaver skin which is naturally waterproof, was used in Europe to make wide-brimmed men's hats, to keep the rain off their heads and faces.
The beaver supply in Europe dwindled rapidly just when North America was discovered. Indians gladly traded beaver pelts for blankets, knives and axes from the white of Europe.
Traders got rich shipping pelts back to Europe. Thus many were attracted to come to Canada to seek adventure and their fortune as fur traders and trappers, rather than being low-paid labourers or unemployed back in their own countries.
