Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1895 edition. Excerpt: . Opposition of the Missouri Fur Company--Blackfeet Indians--Pierre Dorion, a Half-breed Interpreter-- Renegadoes from Nodowa--Messrs. Bradbury and Nuttall Join the Expedition--Departure from St. Louis--Daniel Boone, the Patriarch of Kentucky-- John Colter--His Adventures among the Indians-- Fort Osage--An Indian War-feast.
