About This Item
Cloth in dust jacket. Both book and jacket are very good. First edition. Saunders, Eloquence from a Silent World 25: "Morgan's most famous work was a direct result of the time spent in libraries while working for the OPA. Morgan wrote this classic on a badly needed advance from Bobbs-Merrill after Farrar and Rinehart dropped the publication contract for his history of the Mormons and the Guggenheim Foundation failed to renew his fellowship for its writing. Despite the impetus behind its creation it is perhaps the best fur trade biography yet written."
