Newman's "Caesars of the Wilderness." Of all the books I've ever recommended in QJ's "Bookshelf" forum, that is the one I'd rate as a "must read" for anyone interested in the fur traders & explorers of old.  That one and his "Company of Adventurers" were both entertaining and enlightening.

Maybe we are kin, I noted the territory was was called Keyoh. Explains why I was drawn to the new barge.
