Excerpt from The United States Catholic Magazine and Monthly Review, 1848, Vol. 7: Containing Chiefly Original Articles, a Summary of Ecclesiastical Intelligence, &C Much as the missionaries have sought to conceal or palliate this dreadful state of things, in their correspondence with their friends and supporters at home, the truth has come out in spite of their stu died silence; and it is even virtually ad mitted by themselves.

"By beginning where the standard works leave off and carrying the story up to its logical conclusion in 1865, this book fills a definite void in the history of the fur trade in the American West. Set in the upper Missouri country, which was bypassed by settlement until the 1860s, it focuses primarily upon the St. Louis firm of Pierre Chouteau, Jr., and Company, usually known as the American Fur Company....This is not the distorted and romanticized approach so typical of much of the literature on the earlier fur trade. Drama is inherent, but it is sound, well-conceived, carefully documented history."-American Historical Review
