520 2  "Exiles in Indian Country weaves together the biographies 
       of three men who cast their fortunes with the Western fur 
       trade in the first quarter of the nineteenth century. John
       Tanner was a 'white Indian' who was taken captive and 
       raised by Ottawa, and lived among the Ottawa and Ojibwa 
       for thirty years, hunting across the northern forests and 
       plains of present-day Ontario, Manitoba, and northern 
       Minnesota. Dr. John McLoughlin fled the law in Quebec at 
       the age of eighteen to work for the Hudson's Bay Company 
       in the Lake Superior region during its two decades of war 
       with the North West Company. Major Stephen H. Long 
       explored the northern borderlands in a time when the 
       United States aimed to take over British-Indian trade in 
       its new western territories. The three men met at the 
       HBC's Rainy Lake House near the Boundary Waters in 1823 
       after Tanner was badly wounded while trying to take his 
       daughters out of Indian country, to save them from being 
       raped by the white traders. Foregrounding this incident, 
       Theodore Catton examines the events leading up to this 
       fateful encounter through a Rashomon-like tale about the 
       British-American-Indian frontier. Through these three 
       colliding vantage points, the book describes the world of 
       the fur trade: American, British, and Indian; imperial, 
       capital, and labor; explorer, trader, and hunter. In its 
       competing viewpoints, Exiles in Indian Country deftly 
       crafts one grand narrative out of three and reveals the 
       perilous lives of the white adventurers and their Indian 
       families who lived on the fringe--truly the hands of 
       empire"--Provided by publisher.
