About John Johnston
John Johnston (1762–1828) was a wealthy and successful British fur trader for the North West Company. He operated a trading post at what is now Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan when it was still Canadian territory before the War of 1812. After the border became redefined, Johnston was a prominent citizen and leader in the Michigan Territory of the United States, although he never became a US citizen.
