The Economic History of the Fur Trade: 1670 to 1870. Ann M. Carlos, University of Colorado Frank D. Lewis, Queenâs University Introduction. A commercial fur trade in North America grew out of the early contact between Indians and European fisherman who were netting cod on the Grand Banks off Newfoundland and on the Bay of GaspÃ© near Quebec.
The Russian-American Company operated from 1799 through mid-1800. It used Dutch Harbor in the transport of goods, mainly seal and sea otter fur. In 1867 Russia sold Alaska to the United States. Fur was the main export in Alaska after the United States took control.n June 1942, the Imperial Japanese navy bombed Dutch Harbor from two aircraft carriers. During the war, Dutch Harbor was used as a home for refugees evacuated from the Aleutian Islands. U.S. Army troops and civilian workers alike spent time at Blackies, the only bar in the area.
