selling supplies at a trading post near the Savannah River. A trading post is a store
established in an unsettled region by a trader or trading company to obtain furs and local
products in exchange for supplies, clothing, other goods, or for cash. I have to be VERY

need in order to live.SAVANNAH RIVER
