Seller's Description:
Fine. Book 10 volumes (1964-1972). First editions. One of approximately 2, 000 sets. Portraits, map, bibliography, and full volume index. Original brown-gray cloth. Light bumping to spine ends of volume I. A very fine set. "This series was Hafen's final major work in the field of western American history. Together with noted scholars and history buffs from throughout the country, he compiled biographies of the major male figures in the fur trade of the Far West. This series was very well received, and continues to garner interest even after being out of print for more than 20 years. The account of the fur trade written by Dr. Hafen and included in volume I provides an excellent background study of the development of the fur trade" (Clark & Brunet). An indispensable set on the subject. Quite scarce, especially when found complete with all volumes. Volumes I, II, and X are almost impossible to find separately. [Clark and Brunet I: 108; Clark and Brunet II: 123; Rittenhouse: 266].
