The comany for which I had acted had become bankrupt, and left me a loser to no mconsiderable amount. But, notwithstanding this unfavorable aspect of things, I decided upon returning to the Mountains for the purpose of visiting the diflerent regions adjacent to them. Acting upon this resolution, I expended the means at my immediate command for the procurement of an outfit;--and the beginning of August saw me again en route, accompanied b two experienced moun'taineers--all of us mounted upon hardy mules an well provided for the journey before us. The first four or five days subsequent, our progress was much impeded by successive rains, that rendered the road muddy and ourselves uncomfortable. We were necessitated to raft the Wakarousha, and the Kansas was so swollen it was forded with great difiiculty, ---the water frequently covering the backs of our animals. From that onward we enjoyed pleasant weather and journeyed without further interruption;--nothing occurred worth note, till we reached the Pawnee range, near the head of Big Blue. One morning, while travelling along unconcemedly and at our leisure, having as yet observed nothing to excite our apprehensions, a Pawnee suddenly made his appearance directly in front of us. Such a customer had we been aware of his proximity, would have been most carefully avoided, in a place so dangerous as this; but, as he had first discovered us, it was now too late to give him the slip, and we accordingly permitted his approach, greeting him in a friendly manner. He immediately informed us that the whole conntry was full of his people returning from their summer-hunt, and he invited us to accompany him to the iiillage. This we declined, being unwilling to trust either him or his peo e....

Download or read book Fur Fortune and Empire The Epic History of the Fur Trade in America written by Eric Jay Dolin and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2010 with total page 495 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For all of fur's contentious position in American culture today, historian Eric Jay Dolin shows its centrality in our nation's ever-surprising history. He argues that the trade in animal skins turned colonial America into a tumultuous frontier where global powers battled for control. From the seventeenth century right on up to the Gilded Age, the developed world's appetite for fur made the new continent, with its wealth of fur-bearing wildlife, a seemingly inexhaustible resource. The result was a major boost in the evolution of the colonies into a powerful new player on the world stage. Dolin sheds insight on the ways the fur trade created international tensions--in New England, the Great Lakes, and in the expanding West. Fur traders were often the first white men to map major rivers, forests, and mountains, then soon pushed Native Americans off their lands as John Jacob Astor's American Fur Company attempted to monopolize the West.--From publisher description.

Download or read book The Great Divide written by Gary Ferguson and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2004 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than any other American landscape, the Rocky Mountains have prompted a remarkable medley of fierce, poetic dreams. For some 150 years this region served as a landscape of freedom for the black sheep of our culture: from the rebellious sons of wealthy industrialists to African American trappers; from affluent young women struggling for suffrage to the hippies of the 1960s, determined to turn their backs on the establishment. Gary Ferguson spins magnificent tales about these vivid charactersblazing a trail that leads us finally to modern adventure travelers bedecked in high-tech outerwear and toting satellite phones into the wild. From this spot on the crest of the continent comes a fresh look at how the nation's wild lands inspired some of our most cherished notions of freedom, as well as how much we stand to lose should our connections to those lands drift out of reach. 25 black & white photos, index.
