Excerpt from The American Fur Trade of the Far West, Vol. 1 of 3: A History of the Pioneer Trading Posts and Early Fur Companies of the Missouri Valley and the Rocky Mountains and of the Overland Commerce With Santa Fe A late historical writer has said that there are few more impressive incidents in the history of the West than the meeting by Lewis and Clark, when nearly home from their journey across the continent, of numerous parties of traders wending their way to the heart of the wilderness which these explorers had just left.

Scarcely had the United States come into possession of Louisiana, and before she had fairly taken stock of her new acquisition, her citizens had begun to penetrate its remote interior, impatient to learn what it had in store for them.

Excerpt from History of Early Steamboat Navigation on the Missouri River, Vol. 1 of 2: Life and Adventures of Joseph La Barge, Pioneer Navigator and Indian Trader, for Fifty Years Identified With the Commerce of the Missouri Valley This event led to a material change in the plan of the work, and it was decided to make it, not merely a narrative of personal experiences, but a history of steamboat navigation on the Missouri River. Very few people now have any conception of the part which this remarkable business played in the upbuilding of. The West. There is no railroad system in the United States to-day whose importance to its tributary coun try is relatively greater than was that of the Missouri River to the trans-mississippi territory in the first seventy-five years of the nineteenth century. The busi ness of the fur trade, the intercourse of government agents with the Indians, the campaigns of the army throughout the valley, and the wild rush of gold seekers to the mountains, all depended, in greater or less degree, upon the Missouri River as a line of transportation.
