Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The American Fur Trade of the Far West is the premier history of its subject. Its publication in 1902 invited historians and general readers to look more closely at the intricate connec-tions of the fur trade with the development of North America. Hiram Chittenden provides a perspective or overall outline of the fur trade that, after nearly a century, remains sound. Volume 2 of this Bison Book edition follows the traps and trails of such colorful characters as Ezekial Williams, Hugh Glass, Mike Fink, and John Colter. Described here are the explorers, missionaries, government survey parties, and Indian tribes of the fur trade West, and the geography that often determined their success or failure. Nine appendixes containing miscellaneous primary materials precede a bibliography and index. A new feature is a foreword by William R. Swagerty.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1803 the United States paid France fifty million francs and cancelled debts of a further eighteen million francs for the purchase of the Louisiana territory. It was an action which would change the nature of the United States forever. No longer was it hemmed into the states of the eastern seaboard, continually looking across the Atlantic, now it would change direction and look westwards, out over its new lands in the Far West. Scarcely had the United States come into possession of Louisiana, and before she had fairly taken stock of her new acquisition, her citizens had begun to penetrate its remote interior, impatient to learn what it had in store for them. But what were the United States and its citizens going to do with these new millions of acres of land? The single attraction that it offered in a commercial way was its wealth of furs, the gathering of which became, and for a long time remained, the only business of importance in this entire region. Hiram Martin Chittenden's seminal work The American Fur Trade of the Far West is a fascinating history of the Far West. Chittenden provides brilliant biographies of many of the most important figures in the history of the fur trade, from the explorers, Lewis and Clark, to trappers like Hugh Glass and Joseph Meek, to pioneers like Frances Garces and Jim Beckwourth, as well as missionaries like Father P. J. De Smet. The book leaves no stone unturned as it provides a full examination of the events that occurred through the history of the fur trade and the figures who shaped the early history of the Far West. "As an introduction to, or an accompaniment of the history of the settlement of the Northwest, Captain Chittenden's book is invaluable." Frances Fuller Victor, Oregon Historical Quarterly "Chittenden remains an authority on the trans-Mississippi region." Pacific Historical Review "His works on the Yellowstone, the fur trade, and on Missouri River steamboating were long recognized as definitive ... His style was formal, clear, and undramatic. His works contain a mass of detail." Gordon B. Dodds, Arizona and the West Hiram Martin Chittenden was a leading historian of the American West. Prior to becoming a historian he was a graduate of West Point and became a district engineer for the Army Corps of Engineers. His book The American Fur Trade of the Far West was first published in 1902 and he passed away in 1917.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Fur Trade of the Far West, Vol. 1 of 3: A History of the Pioneer Trading Posts and Early Fur Companies of the Missouri Valley and the Rocky Mountains and of the Overland Commerce With Santa Fe A late historical writer has said that there are few more impressive incidents in the history of the West than the meeting by Lewis and Clark, when nearly home from their journey across the continent, of numerous parties of traders wending their way to the heart of the wilderness which these explorers had just left. There could be no doubt in this manifestation of a common purpose which way the course of empire was tending. Scarcely had the United States come into possession of Louisiana, and before she had fairly taken stock of her new acquisition, her citizens had begun to penetrate its remote interior, impatient to learn what it had in store for them.
