California was a remote place and many supplies needed to be imported. This books focuses on the people who provided this service to the community, as well as the people who then sold goods to the people living at the missions. We learn about trade routes, what kind of goods were traded, and how they were stored and transported once on land. We also take a look at the difficulties of being a sailor, the importance of the muleteers to successful trade in California, and the role merchants played. |
