This fully modern and magisterial edition of this essential journal surpasses all previous editions in assisting scholars and general readers in understanding Truteaus travels and encounters with the numerous Native peoples of the region, including the Arikaras, Cheyennes, LakotasDakotasNakotas, Omahas, and Pawnees. Truteaus writings constitute the very foundation to our understanding of the late eighteenthcentury fur trade in the region immediately preceding the expedition of Meriwether Lewis and William Clark commissioned by President Thomas Jefferson in 1803.An unparalleled primary source for its descriptions of Native American tribal customs, beliefs, rituals, material culture, and physical appearances, A Fur Trader on the Upper Missouri will be a classic among scholars, students, and general readers alike.Along with this new translation by Mildred Mott Wedel, Raymond J.
