Ad Dare Servire – To Give and To Serve

Buckskin Trades

Have you thought about advancing to Buckskin in FCF? Having problems coming up with a trade? Or, if you have a trade, are you dissatisfied with your trade? Well, after many days of work and lots of man hours, the Shawnee Trail has a resource available that can help you learn about a wide variety of trades from the 18th and early 19th centuries. From A to Z, we currently have 61 trades listed with short descriptions and complete with references. While our resource is not intended to be a complete list, it is rather extensive. As more research is done and more trades and references are found, we will continue to add to and expand our list of trades. If you know a trade that existed in the 18th or early 19th century and have some online references to support the trade, please email David Trower, FCF sutler/promotions. Our resource can be found at Buckskin Trades.
