| Silver Fox Odyssey |
| The History of the Canadian Silver Fox Industry |
| Joseph E. Forester Anne D. Forester |
Silver Fox Odyssey traces the creation and growth of a
once major industry on Prince Edward Island, silver fox
farming.
The founders of this commercial industry, Islanders
Charles Dalton and Robert Oulton, used versatility and
cooperation to foster the growth of their enterprise. Their
life stories form an integral part of the history of the
industry and add a great deal of colour to an already
romantic story.
Though fox farming declined, fur farming, as an industry,
continued to grow for many years. Its contributions
extend to a number of fields and its scope far exceeded
the dreams of its original pioneers.
