Excerpt from The Fur Animals of Louisiana
HE taking OF furs for clothing and the trading in T pelts is undoubtedly the Oldest industry in the world.
This activity goes back many thousands Of years into the dim reaches Of the Stone Age when the cave man, crude hatchet or club in hand, killed the beasts of the field so that he and his family could have covering during the rigorous seasons of the year, and one may be safe in claim ing that the Neanderthal Woman was the first to choose the handsomest pelt for keeping her ¿esh warm and for enhancing her physical charms.
