Across the Wide Missouri
Author: Bernard Augustine DeVoto
Winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the Bancroft Prize. Across the Wide Missouri tells the compelling story of the climax and decline of the Rocky Mountain fur trade during the 1830s. More than a history, it portrays the mountain fur trade as a way of business and a way of life, vividly illustrating how it shaped the expansion of the American West.

I really enjoyed reading about the fur trappers lives, and the settles account with the Indian. There are great picture too. But I did bog down in the fur trade wars. Read all but the lst 50 pages.
