The Lost Trappers. This is both old and rare book. A 1850 collection of scenes and events in the Rocky Mountains, a short description of California, some account of the Fur Trade.
Written by a newspaperman who lived in Missouri from 1845-1847, who sought out those who had made trips to the West and to Santa Fe as well as those who lived and worked as trappers in the Rockies for first hand accounts. He also discovered the journal of Captain Ezekiel Williams's expedition to escort the Mandan Chief Big White from St. Louis, Mo back to his village. The request to escort was made by William Clark (Lewis & Clark). The party went on to explore the Rockies for trapping purposes.
