Beaver Men Spearheads of Empire is the account of the beaver trade in its drive across America from the St. Lawrence to the last great rendezvous of traders and trappers on Ham's Fork in what is now Wyoming in 1834. The role played by the Indians, the Drama of the Lewis and Clark expedition, and the lore of the beaver, its life and habits adds a fascinating dimension to the story.
