2014 Reprint of 1935 American Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. Two Volumes Bound in One. Hiram Martin Chittenden (1858-1917) was a leading historian of the American West, especially the fur trade. Epic in sweep and reach, strongly written and superbly researched, The American Fur Trade of the Far West is an established classic in the field of American History. Its first publication in 1902 made clear how much the fur trade was indissolubly connected to the history of North America. Chittenden brought to this enduring work an appreciation of geography and a feeling for the lives and times of colorful trappers and mountain men like Manuel Lisa, William H. Ashley, the Sublette brothers, Jedediah Smith, Jim Bridger, and Kenneth McKenzie. He provided a comprehensive view of the fur trade that still remains sound. His history of the fur trade has been highly influential among historians of the West.
