In the early 1800s vast fortunes were made in the international fur
trade, an enterprise founded upon the effort of a few hundred
trappers scattered across the American West. From their ranks came
men who still command respect for their daring, skill, and
resourcefulness. This volume brings together brief biographies of
seventeen leaders of the western fur trade, selected from essays
assembled by LeRoy R. Hafen in "The Mountain Men and the Fur Trade
of the Far West (ten volumes, 1965-72)."
The subjects and authors are: Etienne Provost (LeRoy R. Hafen);
James Ohio Pattie (Ann W. Hafen); Louis Robidoux (David J. Weber);
Ewing Young (Harvey L. Carter); David F. Jackson (Carl D. W Hays);
Milton G. Sublette (Doyce B. Nunis, Jr.); Lucien Fontenelle (Alan
C. Trottman); James Clyman (Charles L. Camp); James P. Beckwourth
(Delmot R. Oswald); Edward and Francis Ermatinger (Harriet D.
Munnick); John Gantt (Harvey L. Carter); William W. Bent (Samuel P.
Arnold); Charles Autobees (Janet Lecompte); Warren Angus Ferris
(Lyman C. Pederson, Jr.); Manuel Alvarez (Harold H. Dunham); and
Robert Campbell (Harvey L. Carter).
"Trappers of the Far West" is the companion to "Mountain Men and
Fur Traders of the Far West,"
