Upper Columbia Fur Men: The First Arrivals Onward

By Mike Reeb

In this sequel to his first book on the fascinating era of trappers and traders in Inland Northwest, "Inland Salish Journey: Fur Trade to Settlement," author Mike Reeb delivers an authoritative account of the French-Canadian fur trade, tracking the careers of pioneer fur men in the years 1800-1870.

With illustrations, maps, and rare photographs, Reeb documents the trappers' quest for furs - an adventurous and risky enterprise that often resulted in accidents, disease and violent deaths for the trappers, as well as both conflicts and harmony with the indigenous peoples of the frontier.

Included is an 80 page supplementary section, "The Upper Columbia Pioneer Trappers," featuring the biographies of four men who were the first to rove the region for furs.
