Dear Father’s Journal,
Unfortunately, father died in an accident while travelling the fur routes leaving me and my younger brother to look after our mother and three sisters. Sometimes though, we think it might have been good for father to die when he did because not one year after he died the fur trade took a surprising dip. Many people were forced to go back to agriculture (including us); which has all of a sudden become one of the main exports of our region. We make less money now that we are no longer involved in the fur trade but we are not doing badly. As father would say, we may just make it!
