A Pictorial History of Fur Trade Goods
Mid 1600's to Early 1800's
In The Mackinac Straits Area

By Robert Bennett

A landscape format book 10 × 8, 240 pages
This book is a photographical reference of  items recovered from the Mackinac Straits area.
  They were taken over the course of my ten-year infatuation with French and British relics of the fur trade.

A museum at your finger tips.
For those who enjoy history through the study of artifacts, (A Pictorial History of Fur Trade Goods) puts it all in the palm of your hands. This special addition book is a continuation of Robert Bennett’s first release displaying additional and rare trade era materials. A snap shot in time of the Michigan and Great Lakes Fur Trade period captured for present and future generations of historians, collectors and researchers. This accumulation of Native American fur trade relics and period military items is invaluable as most unique artifact discoveries are rarely made available for historical study. A great amount of knowledge can be gained by the study of these period artifacts. The research and collector communities will be gratified to have them made permanently available in this special hard copy.

Here are reviews from owners of my first edition...

" A Pictorial History of Fur Trade Goods: by Robert Bennett A pictorial book of this type is long over due and well worth the
 price. If you don't own the artifacts, then a good quality photo is the very next best thing. This book is filled with many hard to find
and one of a kind items that can't be seen anyplace else. What a  wonderful photo journey in time through the Michigan fur trade era,
and a very good reference book for collectors of trade materials  from other area's of the country as well. I am pleased to add this
 great pictorial book to my library for reference work and look  forward to many years of usefulness and enjoyment. This book will
no doubt become a collectable in its own right. A must for the  serious collector and researcher of fur trade period materials.

Job well done and thanks for all the hard work!

 "Bob:

I received my two copies of "What They Left Behind" and yes, it is aperfect title for the diverse artifact contents. The book is great, and the photos are as superb as I expected; I like the many full page photos with the excellent detail and clarity of the items. Especially our favorite - the Father Marquette ring. Thanks for doing this to help record and expose the Great Lakes Fur Trade history. Your book will be appreciated by collectors and non collectors. I will treasure my copy for its illustrated history, reference works to the early Fur Trade, and the interesting color photos and subject matter.
Good job!
Dick"
