Description
Although the American Fur Company dominated the Upper Missouri fur trade during the middle decades of the nineteenth century, a number of small, independent firms (known as the Opposition) flourished briefly at this time.
From 1858 until 1862, a young Philadelphian, Henry A. Boller, was one of the Opposition traders, serving first as clerk in Clark, Primeau and Company and then as a partner in Larpenteur, Smith and Company. His account of these years, based on his journals, presents a remarkably realistic picture of the daily life of the Indian as he existed more than a century ago and is recognized as the most authoritative narrative of fur-trading among the plains Indians of the Upper Missouri, for the period (U.S.iana).
When it appeared in 1868, Boller's book was subtitled Eight Years in the Far West, 1858-1866, Embracing Sketches of Montana and Salt Lake, and included descriptions of a return visit to Fort Berthold, the newly discovered Montana gold fields, and the Mormon capital. These concluding chapters are omitted in the present volume.
