"John Long's Journal, 1768-1782" by Indian trader J. Long is a historical account written in the late 18th century. This work chronicles the experiences of John Long, detailing his interactions with various Native American tribes and his ventures in the fur trade during the early American settlement period. The journal serves as a window into the life and culture of Native Americans, as well as the social and economic dynamics of the region when European traders were expanding their influence. At the start of the work, the editor provides an overview of John Long's early life in England and his transition to North America, where he undertook an apprenticeship as a clerk and later joined the fur trade. Long immerses himself in Native American culture, learning languages and participating in their customs. He narrates tales of his travels and the various hardships faced during his expeditions, including interactions with different tribes and the dangers inherent in fur trading amid the tumult of the American Revolution. The opening portion sets the stage for an engaging exploration of Long's dual life as a trader and interpreter, along with revealing insights into the complex relationships between European settlers and Native tribes.
