Synopsis

A definitive, well‑researched history of the fur trade and early Western exploration, presented in a durable three‑volume set.

This substantial work chronicles the rise of the fur trade in the Missouri Valley and the Rocky Mountains, along with overland routes to Santa Fe and the broader overland commerce that shaped the American West. Rich with maps and plates, it assembles years of research from manuscripts and other records previously hard to access, offering readers a detailed portrait of traders, tribes, and frontier life. The set includes a large folding map of the Trans‑Mississippi Territory, helping readers visualize the routes, posts, waterways, and people involved in early exploration and commerce.

What you’ll experience

  • Three volumes in a single, uncut cloth edition with extensive notes and illustrations.
  • Careful treatment of the fur trade’s key posts, partners, and routes across the plains and mountains.
  • Context on major expeditions and the evolving connection between the U.S. and the West.
  • Historical detail drawn from manuscript sources and newly published material for the edition.

Ideal for readers of American frontier history, exploration, and the fur trade era.
