John Johnston (fur trader) : ウィキペディア英語版
John Johnston (fur trader)
John Johnston (1762–1828) was a wealthy and successful British fur trader for the North West Company at Sault Ste. Marie when it was still Canadian territory before the War of 1812. He was a prominent citizen and leader in the Michigan Territory of the United States, although he never became a US citizen. He married ''Ozhaguscodaywayquay'' (Woman of the Green Glade), daughter of ''Waubojeeg'' (White Fisher), a prominent Ojibwe war chief and civil leader from what is now northern Wisconsin. The Johnstons were leaders in both the Euro-American and Ojibwa communities. Johnston's life was markedly disrupted by the War of 1812, as afterward the US prohibited trading by Canadians.
==Early life fur trade==
John Johnston (1762-1828), was born in Belfast, Ireland to an upper-class Scots-Irish family.〔(Robert Dale Parker, ''Jane Johnston Schoolcraft'' ), University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, accessed 11 Dec 2008〕 John Johnston held in his own right the estate of Craige, near Coleraine in County Londonderry. His father was a civil engineer who planned and built the Belfast Water Works. During John Johnston's youth, his mother's brother was Attorney General of Ireland.〔(William Kingsford, C.E., "John Johnston, of Sault Ste. Marie: A Passage in Canadian History" ), in G. Mercer Adam, ''Canadian Monthly and National Review'', pp.1-9 Toronto: Rose-Belford Publishing Co., 1881, accessed 23 Dec 2008〕
As a young man, Johnston emigrated in 1792 to Canada for its opportunities. He had letters of introduction to Lord Dorchester, Governor of the colony. Through him he met leaders in society, including the magnates of the recently formed North West Company in Montreal.〔 The fur trade looked like a good opportunity to make a profit. Johnston planned to be a "wintering partner", one who traded with Native Americans at the post on the frontier. He purchased trade goods in Montreal to take with him.
