Beskrivelse af Commerce Of The Prairies
Commerce of the Prairies: The Journal of a Santa Fe Trader is a historical memoir written by Josiah Gregg, an American trader, explorer, and author who lived during the mid-19th century. The book is a first-hand account of Gregg's experiences as a trader on the Santa Fe Trail, a major trade route that connected Missouri with Santa Fe, New Mexico.In the book, Gregg describes the challenges and dangers of trading in the American West during the mid-1800s. He writes about the harsh terrain, the extreme weather conditions, and the threat of attacks from Native American tribes. He also provides detailed descriptions of the various goods that were traded along the Santa Fe Trail, including furs, buffalo hides, and Mexican silver.Throughout the book, Gregg offers insights into the culture and customs of the people he encountered on his travels, including Native Americans, Mexicans, and other traders. He also reflects on the impact of the expanding American frontier on the indigenous populations and the environment.Overall, Commerce of the Prairies is a fascinating and informative account of life on the Santa Fe Trail during a pivotal period in American history. It offers a unique perspective on the challenges and opportunities of the American West and provides valuable insights into the cultural and economic forces that shaped the region.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
