The First Chouteaus: River Barons of Early St. Louis
This was a really good look at both the very earliest origins of the fur trade on the Missouri River and the start of St. Louis.
You get a lot of information on the Chouteau family, primarily Auguste and Pierre (Jean-Pierre). I liked the detail on the costs, like how much money people were making, how much furs were, even how much the expense of the Marquis de Lafayette's visit was in the 1810s.
This is a very good resource for historians. If you're a regular reader it's not very dry. I was primarily interested in Montana and found a wealth of information about the Upper Missouri. Give it a look!
