Antoine Robidoux and Fort Uncompahgre Paperback – September 20, 1998

Ken Reyher handles a difficult subject in that fur traders, like Robidoux, predate the settlement of the West and Colorado by many decades. The material is incomplete at best, but Reyher has pieced together an excellent account of this man's life and Fort Uncompahgre. In addition, the area where Robidoux traded was quite remote and far removed from settlements like Santa Fe. Reyher adds logic to Robidoux's decisions and also recounts the economics of the fur trade business and its decline. This well written book is illustrated.
