This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important                 historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to                 apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to                 sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and                 does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is                 culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally                 enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or                 missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the                 original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it                 back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with                 access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional                 imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that                 intended by the original publisher.

Commerce of the Prairies (American Exploration & Travel)

University of Oklahoma Press

Written as a scrupulously accurate guidebook to the prairies and as an authoritative account of the early Santa Fe trade, Commerce of the Prairies has been a favorite of historians, ethnologists, naturalists, and collectors of Western Americana for generations. But Gregg’s masterpiece is not for specialists alone: its vivid descriptions of desert mirages, wagon caravans, Indian alarms and attacks, buffalo hunts, and other early Western phenomena will delight all who wish to know the country as it was before the great herds of buffalo were slaughtered and the roving Indians confined to reservations, before the landscape was transformed by barbed wire, domestic cattle, plowed fields, and modern highways. Josiah Gregg, a man of rare sensitivity and passionate science interest, joined a caravan of traders bound for Santa Fé in 1831 and almost immediately developed a fascination for the adventure-packed life of Santa Fé trader. And during the ten years that he engaged in the San Fé trade, Gregg took copious notes on the life and landscape of the American prairies and the Mexican plateau, later utilizing them in Commerce of the Prairies. This new edition faithfully follows the rare first edition, to and including the maps and illustrations. It will be welcomed both by readers familiar with the importance and interest of Gregg’s work and by readers who have yet to discover its attraction.
