French Canadian Workers Who Paddled Canoes, Transported Goods, And Staffed The Interior Posts Of The Northern North American Fur Trade Became Popularly Known As Voyageurs. Scholars And Public Historians Alike Have Cast Them In The Romantic Role Of Rugged And Merry Heroes Who Paved The Way For European Civilization In The Wild Northwest. Carolyn Podruchny Looks Beyond The Stereotypes And Reveals The Contours Of Voyageurs Lives, World Views, And Values.Making The Voyageur World Shows That The Voyageurs Created Distinct Identities Shaped By Their Frenchcanadian Peasant Roots, The Aboriginal Peoples They Met In The Northwest, And The Nature Of Their Employment As Indentured Servants In Diverse Environments. Voyageurs Identities Were Also Shaped By Their Constant Travels And By Their Own Masculine Ideals That Emphasized Strength, Endurance, And Daring. Although Voyageurs Left Few Conventional Traces Of Their Own Voices In The Documentary Record, An Astonishing Amount Of Information Can Be Found In Descriptions Of Them By Their Masters, Explorers, And Other Travelers. By Examining Their Lives In Conjunction With The Metaphor Of The Voyage, Podruchny Not Only Reveals The Everyday Lives Of Her Subjectswhat They Ate, Their Cosmology And Rituals Of Celebration, Their Families, And, Above All, Their Workbut Also Underscores Their Impact On The Social And Cultural Landscape Of North America.
