{"id":288,"count":38,"description":"In North American history, a rendezvous was a wilderness gathering that took place at established camps or river\/lake junctions used by those involved in the fur trade. All of these rendezvous ultimately included a major transfer of furs and goods to be traded for furs. In North America during the fur trade era, from the 16th century to the mid-19th century, this included the Voyageur Rendezvous and the Mountain Man or Buckskinner Rendezvous. Comparably speaking, the Rocky Mountain Man Rendezvous had a very short life-span, from 1825-1840. On the other hand, French Traders were active in the Great Lakes area as early as the 16th century, with voyageur rendezvous activity in the Grand Portage, Minnesota area between the 1730s and 1805.\r\n\r\nThe French started trading in furs in North America in the 16th century, the English established trading posts on Hudson Bay in present-day Canada in the 17th century, and the Dutch had trade by the same time in New Netherland. The 19th-century North American fur trade, when the industry was at its peak of economic importance, involved the development of elaborate trade networks and companies.\r\n\r\nThis fur trade became one of the main economic ventures in North America attracting competition among the French, British, Dutch, Spanish, and Russians. Indeed, in the early history of the United States, capitalizing on this trade, and removing the British stranglehold over it, was seen as a major economic objective. Many Native American societies across the continent came to depend on the fur trade as their primary source of income. By the mid-1800s, however, changing fashions in Europe brought about a collapse in fur prices. The American Fur Company and some other companies failed. \r\n\r\nIn canoe-based fur trade areas, one type of rendezvous is associated with the voyageur and canoe-based fur trade business which was largely in Canada and the states in the US around the Great Lakes, especially in Minnesota and Wisconsin. These Voyageur Rendezvous were generally at a transportation transfer point within in a wilderness route that could not be traversed in one season run by and including the fur trade of only a single company. The transfer was the dominant reason for holding the rendezvous although they included other meetings and revelry.\r\n\r\nRendezvous held in the western part of what is now the United States included a more diverse range of activities than their northern counterparts.

A substantial amount of deal-making and trading occurred at these rendezvous. These were often a temporary \"town\" of sorts with businesses which offered the fur trade workers and participants ways to spend their money on supplies and revelry. The North American fur trade in the west is identified with these large annual Mountain Man rendezvous that were held in various Rocky mountain locations from 1825 until 1840. One of the largest of these was the Rendezvous of 1832. Much of the attendance of these consisted of mountain men who were fur trade participants who were experienced at living in the mountain back country.","link":"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/events\/category\/voyageur-rendezvous-or-encampment\/","name":"Voyageur Rendezvous or Encampment","slug":"voyageur-rendezvous-or-encampment","taxonomy":"tribe_events_cat","parent":0,"meta":[],"yoast_head":"\nVoyageur Rendezvous or Encampment Archives - Crazy Crow Trading Post<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.crazycrow.com\/site\/events\/category\/voyageur-rendezvous-or-encampment\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Voyageur Rendezvous or Encampment Archives - Crazy Crow Trading Post\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"In North American history, a rendezvous was a wilderness gathering that took place at established camps or river\/lake junctions used by those involved in the fur trade.
