Can you tell me, the trapping of what animal for its valuable fur led to the exploration of the Rocky mountains?
Beaver fur, which was used in Europe to make felt hats, became the most valuable of these furs. The fur trade prospered until the mid-1800's, when fur-bearing animals became scarce and silk hats became more popular than felt hats made with beaver. This led to the exploration of the Rockies.
