Commerce of the Prairies is a journal written by Josiah Gregg, a Santa Fe trader, detailing his travels and experiences during the mid-1800s in the American West. The book covers his journey from Missouri to Santa Fe, New Mexico, and his subsequent travels throughout the region, including Texas, Mexico, and California. Gregg describes the various native tribes he encounters, the landscapes and natural resources of the region, and the challenges and dangers of trading in the West. He also provides insight into the economic and political climate of the time, including the impact of the Mexican-American War and the growing tensions between the United States and Mexico. The book offers a unique perspective on the early American West and the role of trade in shaping its development.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
