Introduction
Fur trapping, the fur trade, "Mountain Men"expressions such as these bring up images of men working in unexplored wilderness, tending extended trap lines, usually alone, meeting once or twice a year to sell their furs in a grand rendezvous, drinking most of the proceeds away with fellow trappers, and, then, having restocked with the provisions they could not kill and the tools they could not make, going back into the wilderness. There is a good bit of truth in this picture, but it ignores the merchants and trading companies also essential to the process of taking the fur from where it was trapped to its eventual use, as a hat in London or a garment in Canton. The document presented here is part of the story of one of the earliest of those companies and of some of the individuals who, after the furs were gathered, started them on their way.
