"European settlement of the American west began with the fur traders and trappers. The historical record of this vital first chapter in the conquest of a continent begins with Hiram Martin Chittenden's A History of the American Fur Trade of the Far West. As Professor Nute says in her Introduction to the present edition: 'Even today one cannot point to a work that has superseded Chittenden's pioneering venture.'" -- back cover.
