Boller, was one of the Opposition traders, serving first as clerk in Clark, Primeau and Company and then as a partner in Larpenteur, Smith and Company. His account of these years, based on his journals, presents a remarkably realistic picture of the daily life of the Indian as he existed more than a century ago and is recognized as the \"most authoritative narrative of fur-trading among the plains Indians of the Upper Missouri, for the period\" (U.S.iana).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e When it appeared in 1868, Boller's book was subtitled \"Eight Years in the Far West, 1858-1866, Embracing Sketches of Montana and Salt Lake,\" and included descriptions of a return visit to Fort Berthold, the newly discovered Montana gold fields, and the Mormon capital. These concluding chapters are omitted in the present volume.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bison Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48679210254571,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":47.61,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4484\/5803\/files\/9780803257146-1.jpg?v=1781639018","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/products\/9780803257146","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
