(From the dust jacket) The trader in this book is not the unconscionable degenerate or legendary mountain man of contemporary cliché, nor does the Indian appear as either the "savage beast" or the "Noble Savage." Lewis Saum's view replaces such stereotypes with real traders like Alexander Mackenzie and Peter Skene Ogden, whose own writings revealed the Indian to be "a very human being with a nature, a character, whims, foibles, strengths and "?even as they revealed the traders to be equally human. As products of the emerging middle class, with most of the contemporary beliefs and theories in their intellectual baggage, the traders set down extensive records of their difficult existence on the edge of civilization. From a survey of these records Saum has drawn vivid sketches of the men of the fur trade and the lives they led, and he has deciphered important patterns of belief and attitude which contributed to the shape of frontier history. The trader's view of the Indian does not seem to have been dominated by preconceived attitudes. Theirs was the voice of experience, with recurrent overtones of boredom, fatigue, and awareness of danger. Although many were sympathetic to the Indian and his pragmatic ethos, the majority opinion held that the best Indian had two qualities: he possessed furs, and he stayed away. Most men in the trade showed some real interest?whether friendly or hostile?in the Indians, but others left statements indicating a thorough indifference: "Grand Gueule stabbed Capot Rouge, Le Boeuf stabbed his young wife in the arm, Little Shell almost beat his old mother's brains out with a club, and there was terrible fighting among them. I sowed garden seeds," Because it was necessary for these traders to cooperate with the Indians in order to survive, they could not afford to generalize in the "good-Indian-dead-Indian" tradition. Most fur traders, however, felt that the Indian could not exist beyond the wilderness, for he seemed to learn all of the vices and none of the virtues of "civilization." Liquor caused the greatest chaos of any "civilized" vice, and the vexations of doing business with drunk and disorderly natives brought forth voluminous tirades from the very traders who supplied the Indians with their alcohol. The author has drawn upon a vast collection of source material, not only to correct some stereotypical ideas about Indians, most particularly that of the "Noble Savage," a task formidable enough in itself?but also to present an accurate, comprehensive picture of the company trader and, by extension, of the civilization that he brought with him into the wilderness. This is not a mere book of dates, figures, or events. Beginning where Chittenden and Phillips leave off, it is a study of beliefs, myths, and attitudes which created history. It will have great appeal to western history readers, as well as professional historians, anthropologists, ethnologists. Lewis O. Saum is assistant professor of history at the University of Washington.
