The California Sea Otter Trade: 1784-1848 is a meticulous study of the early maritime commerce along the California coast, particularly the pursuit of sea otter furs that played a crucial role in shaping the region's economic and political landscape. Adele Ogden’s research provides a detailed account of the fur trade’s origins, beginning with Yankee merchants and Russian hunters who ventured into California waters despite Spain’s restrictive mercantile policies. The book traces how these early traders adapted to the transition from Spanish to Mexican rule, eventually integrating California into broader intra-Pacific commerce during an era of increasing global trade.
Ogden’s work highlights the dual significance of the sea otter trade: its integration into the Pacific world’s economic history and its local impact on California’s development. By bringing American goods, people, and influence to the Pacific Coast, this trade laid the groundwork for California's transformation into a hub of United States interests and its eventual political realignment. Supported by an impressive array of archival research—spanning California, New England, Mexico City, and private collections—this book offers an essential resource for understanding California’s maritime heritage and the broader dynamics of Pacific trade.
