Adventures on the Upper Missouri, from Conversations with Trappers, Old Traders, Guides, and Interpreters
James Stuart (1832 - 1873) was a western Montana pioneer and older brother of Granville Stuart.. He is considered to be a greater adventurer than Granville. James organized a gold hunting party in 1863 to explore Yellowstone country. On this expedition James and his men were attacked by a party of Crow Warriors before eventually discovering gold.
In this book based on conversations James had with trappers, old traders, guides, and interpreters, James gives a valuable historic look at the trapping, fur trading, fort building, and gold activities on the Upper Missouri River in the 1800s. In this book he describes fur traders and mountain men including McKenzie, Robert Campbell, Sublette, Burger, Dacoteau, Morceau, as well as the building of forts including Ft. Union, Ft. Brule, Ft. Lewis, Prairie Fort or Somerset House.
This book is a great companion read for Larpenteur's "Forty years a fur trader on the upper Missouri"; and together they give an in-depth and authentic first-hand window on history of fur trading on the upper Missouri by those who were there and lived the true life of a mountain man.
