Woodland Indian Trade List 1703.

Note in this list the 18th century "S", it is not an "f". Also note the use of the term Truckmaster instead of Trader, I think this is the first time I have seen this used although I was aware of the term "truck" and Truck Garden. Truck seems to have been a word to describe wares, trade items and garden produce.

I have seperated this list into two parts, the header, and the actual list itself to hopefully enlarge it and make it easier to read. Just click on the list to enlarge.
