Following is the very interesting paper presented by Miss Fretz:
Much of the romance of the early provincial era is associated with the fur trade. Il was the one outstand¬ ing economic feature of the seven- leenth and eighteenth centuries. Pennsylvania was by no means the least colony in importance in the de¬ velopment of this trade. That little has been written about the import¬ ant place is duo to tli^ fact that much of the early history was writ¬ ten by men of Xew England origin, nnd that, therefore. Xew Engl-.rnd has been unduly exalted in compari¬ son with the other colonics. N'ew York has n'M-rr been backward in claiming commercial snprcma.cy along all lines, antl this has led to an over-emphasis placed on the part of X.-.'. York as tl'e natural shirniiiu' rt !itri> of .\nieviia.
