peltry

Haven't we been trapped by animals who are inferior even in their peltry?

Young and his associates would take the newly caught peltry to Missouri for sale, purchase trade goods there.

The Sauk hunters skinned their catches and sold the peltry to fur traders from the Great Lakes.

This was probably the case among the hunting nations of North America before their country was discovered by the Europeans, with whom they now exchange their surplus peltry for blankets, fire-arms, and brandy, which gives it some value.

"We traded some with those at the fort and with the French and Indians camped near there, but we found that their skins and peltry were quite as high as they are in the States, though they allow a liberal price for the commodity we had to exchange."
