voyageur: Definition and Much More from Answers.com (561 words)
Voyageurs, or engagés, were a class of men employed by fur traders—especially by the North West, the American, and the Hudson's Bay Companies—to paddle their canoes and perform other menial tasks connected with the securing of furs and the maintenance of posts in the interior.
There were on average 5,000 voyageurs in Canada and the United States in any one year of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.
In the interior the voyageurs helped construct the posts, cut shingles, made canoes, fished and hunted, went out among the natives, and were generally versatile men.
