Aggiungi al carrelloPaperback. Condizione: New. This dual biography highlights the human dimensions of the Upper Missouri fur trade. Focusing on two major figures, Alexander Culbertson (1809-1879), trader with the American Fur Company, founder of Fort Benton, and the first white American to live among the Blackfeet Indians, and his wife, Natoyist-Siksina' (""Holy Snake"") (1825-1893), daughter of Two Suns, the chief of the Blood (Kainah) tribe, Lesley Wischmann shows the great influence this couple had on the region. Culbertson and Natoyist-Siksina' worked together for thirty years to promote cooperative relations between Native inhabitants and newly arrived white adventurers and played key roles in the Fort Laramie Treaty Conference of 1851 and treaty negotiations with the Blackfeet tribes in 1855. As she tells the story of these ""frontier diplomats,"" Wischmann also challenges conventional wisdom about the character of fur traders, the nature of the Blackfeet, and the role of Indian women.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. In the mid-1800s, Andrew Dawson, self-exiled from his home in Scotland, joined the upper Missouri River fur trade and rose through the ranks of the American Fur Company. A headstrong young man, he had come to America at the age of twenty-four after being dismissed from his second job in two years. His poignant sense of isolation is evident throughout his letters home between 1844 and 1861. In This Far-Off Wild Land, Lesley Wischmann and Andrew Erskine Dawson - a relative of this colorful figure - couple an engaging biography of Dawson with thirty-seven of his previously unpublished letters from the American frontier.Three years after he landed in St. Louis, Dawson went up the Missouri in 1847 to what is now North Dakota and Montana, taking command of Fort Berthold, Fort Clark, and eventually Fort Benton, the premier fur trade post of the day. Fort Berthold and Fort Clark, where Dawson worked until 1854, remain two of the least documented American Fur Company posts. His letters infuse life, and occasional high drama, to the stories of these forgotten outposts. At Fort Benton, his insight in establishing commercial warehouses helped the company keep pace with the changing frontier. By the time Dawson returned to Scotland - after twenty years in what he labeled a far-off, wild land - he had risen to become the last ""King of the Upper Missouri.""Thoughtfully annotated, Dawson's letters, discovered only recently by his relatives, provide a rare glimpse into the lonely life of a fur trader in the 1840s and 1850s. Unlike the impersonal business correspondence that makes up most fur trade writings, Dawson's letters are wonderfully human, suffused with raw emotion. Combining careful research with a compelling story, the authors flesh out the forces that shaped Dawson's personality and the historical events he recorded. In the mid-1800s, Andrew Dawson, self-exiled from his home in Scotland, joined the upper Missouri River fur trade and rose through the ranks of the American Fur Company. In This Far-Off Wild Land, Lesley Wischmann and Andrew Erskine Dawson couple an engaging biography of Dawson with thirty-seven of his previously unpublished letters.

Prima edizione
First edition. First edition. Red cloth with gilt stamping on cover and spine, maps on endpapers, 400pp., acknowledgments, introduction, illustrated, epilogue, bibliography, index. This may well be one of the best fur trade history books in a number of years. It is a history of the Upper Missouri River, the American Fur Company,the Upper Missouri Indian tribes, and western expansion. LeRoy Hafen's The Mountain Men and the Fur Trade of the Far West, devotes only four pages to Culbertson, and for his importance and contributions, this is not enough. Culbertson and his Blood tribe wife Natoyist-Siksina worked together to create good relations with the Upper Missouri Indian tribes. The two worked for more than thirty years to forge relations between whites and the tribes of the area. Culbertson founded and built Fort Benton, and had a reputation as an honest trader which helped to negotiate the end of the 1833 Crow siege of Fort MacKenzie. He was instrumental in the success of the Fort Laramie Treaty Conference of 1851, guiding the 1853 Northern Pacific Railroad Survey party under Isaac Stevens, and played key roles in negotiating the treaty with the Blackfeet tribes in 1855, and other treaties in the years to follow. As new without dust jacket, as issued.
