<p>A grand history of the fascinating fur trade era and the Salish Indian tribes of the inland Pacific Northwest, Inland Salish Journey tells of the years 1800 to 1877 when the earliest fur traders and white settlers came to this magnificent region of the northern Rocky Mountains and upper Columbia Basin. Drawn from source documents as well as journals, manuscripts and early published works, this book is the most comprehensive history yet of the fur trade era and the interactions between the indigenous Inland Salish tribes and the new arrivals. The Spokane, Coeur d'Alene, upper and lower Pend Oreille or Kalispel, Flathead and Colville tribes initially welcomed the traders and were essential to an international enterprise that eventually brought enormous changes.This is the natural and human history of the Inland Salish during this critical time in their existence - from the fur trade to white settlement - that forever altered their lives and the face of the West.</p>
