How much will three bucks buy?

The answer depends on who's counting. In the colony of Carolina, deer hides (buckskins) soon became a popular item for trading.

Native Americans traded deer skins and other animal pelts for sharp, English- made hatchets and knives, colorful textiles, guns, or iron cooking pots to outlast their pottery bowls. Charles Towne settlers, in turn, sold animal hides for cash to meet a growing European demand for leather.

Early settlers "harvested" Carolina's plentiful natural resources-white-tailed deer, beavers, bobcats, bears, otters, foxes and wolves-as though the supply would last forever.
