Wishart is a geographer by trade and is a professor at the University of Nebraska. For those that read these books, you know that's one of the main universities to put out fur trade histories. The maps are a real highlight of this book. Each chapter or section has one, with clear routes, rendezvous locations, and even how long it took to go up or downriver. Really, a great resource. I like how the strategy is laid out as well as what happened in various seasons. Lots of names and dates that are great for putting a timeline together. This is a great resource for historians and an informative read for the general public.
