Paperback. Condición: Good. The story of the American fur trade has been told many times from different viewpoints, but David Lavender was the first to place it within the overall contest for empire between Britain and the United States. Rather than offering a simple hagiography of men like Jedediah Smith, Kit Carson, Jim Bridger and other legendary trappers, Lavender relates the story of men such as John Jacob Astor and Ramsay Crooks who competed with Britain's Hudson's Bay Company for the fur resources of the Great Lakes region and the upper Missouri River country. Within this framework of contest and competition, Lavender shows how the American Fur Company learned to exploit the needs and wants of Indian tribes to gain a superior economic position over the British. The brutal and bloody rivalry helped Ramsay Crooks develop the techniques for transporting furs, supplying trappers, and selling pelts that made fur trapping such an integral economic activity in early U.S. history. David Lavender lives in California. David J. Wishart is a professor of geography at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and the author of The Fur Trade of the American West: A Geographical Synthesis, also a Bison Book.…

Paperback. Condición: Fair. In one very real sense, David Lavender writes, the story of the Oregon Trail begins with Columbus. This opening suggests the panoramic sweep of his history of that famous trail. In chiseled, colorful prose, Lavender illustrates the westward vision that impelled the early explorers of the American interior looking for a northwest passage and send fur trappers into the region charted by Lewis and Clark. For the emigrants following the trappers' routes, that vision gradually grew into a sense of a manifest American destiny. Lavender describes the efforts of emigration societies, of missionaries like Marcus and Narcissa Whitman, and of early pioneer settlers like Hall Jackson Kelley, Jason Lee, and Thomas Jefferson Farnham, as well as the routes they took to the Promised Land. He concludes by recounting the first large-scale emigrations of 1843-45, which steeled the U. S. government for war with Mexico and agreements with Britain over the Oregon boundary. David Lavender's classic histories of the Old West include Bent's Fort, California: Land of New Beginnings, and One Man's West, all available as Bison Books.…
