Story of the Bad Rupee and Fur Trade Date note

A rambling tale from Rampur describes a vendor Bahram who returns to find a bad rupee spent by his wife. A boy exchanges the coin for sweetmeats at a rival shop Al This fragment ties to early American fur trade, noting John Jacob Astor and the Tonquin voyage on March 24, 1811, and U S territorial claims from 1792 to 1846 including Astoria and the Columbia River, leading to American title via the 1846 treaty with England.
