Commerce of the Prairies - Josiah Gregg - Bog

At a time when few Americans had traveled west of the Mississippi, Josiah Gregg ventured out with a trading caravan on eight expeditions. Along the way, he met with and wrote about Native American tribes, traders, and fur trappers. His detailed and candid descriptions of life on the frontier offer a unique perspective on the early years of westward expansion.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.This work is in the "public domain in the United States of America, and possibly other nations.
