- Summary:
- Fort Clark was a fur trade post in what is now western North Dakota, during the mid-19th century. This 'biography' of Fort Clark and the Indian villages that surrounded it offers a context for understanding newly discovered archaeological evidence about the cultures of the Mandan, Hidatsa, and Arikara Indians who traded at Fort Clark. The book focuses on the relationship between the fort and the Indian villages, looking at the beginnings of the fur trade in the region, life at Fort Clark, early events and visitors, and the later years of the trading post. The book includes historical b&w photos and illustrations and will be of interest to historians and scholars. Wood is professor emeritus of anthropology at the University of Missouri-Columbia.
