Buch Erstausgabe
Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. BOOK DESCRIPTION: 8vo, xix, 262 pgs., 2 folding maps in rear. Original green printed paper covers as originally issued. CONDITION DESCRIPTION: Light wear and chipping to edges and rear cover. Chipping to the cover is rainy normal as the University Press used paper that has become brittle over the years. This copy is better than others I have had. Interior has bookplate of former owner on preliminary page, else clean. CONTENTS DESCRIPTION: In the early 1830's, Nathaniel Jarvis Wyeth led two fur trading expeditions to the American Northwest and set up two trading posts in Idaho and Oregon, including Fort Hall. This publication includes 245 letters and journals of his two overland expeditions to Oregon Territory. His plans included trading, trapping, establishing a salmon processing industry and farming; all in a manner to help secure the area for American possession. This is an important narrative for context in the larger struggle for control of the fur trade in the interior Rockies between the Americans and the HBC.
