you tell me
the coureurs de bois
blahhhhhh what they mean is that the coureurs de bois got their names from being: the were young men who jumped at the chance for adventure. they were also called "runners of the woods." also they were french woods men who travelled to the interior of Canada to engaged in the fur trade with the natives without permission from the French authorities. then later in 1681 the french gave out permits to some of the coureurs de bois who became voyageurs if they got the permit.
They were referred to as Moutian Men.
They were there before 1663, but only in small numbers. The Sixties however saw a great increase in immigration to Canada from France and with that, a great increase in the number of coureurs des bois. Their days as free agents came to an end even before 1700, because the French Government decided to regulate this trade and gave trade concessions to big trading houses. This system (the so-called 'congé'-system) put the trade in the hands of the traveling representatives of the trading houses, the voyageurs.
Coureurs des bois and voyageurs were both French-Canadian fur traders in North America during the 17th and 18th centuries, but they had distinct roles. Coureurs des bois were independent traders who often operated without official permission, venturing into the wilderness to trade directly with Indigenous peoples. In contrast, voyageurs were licensed fur traders working for companies like the Hudson's Bay Company, transporting goods and furs by canoe on established trade routes. Both groups played vital roles in the fur trade and contributed to the cultural exchange between European settlers and Indigenous communities.
Yes, the coureurs de bois were French-Canadian fur traders who operated in the wilderness of North America during the 17th and 18th centuries. They were known for their independence and often operated outside the control of French colonial authorities.
