NAMES OF PEOPLE IN THE WEST DURING THE FUR TRADE
Have you ever wondered how many people were in the early American west? I have. Over the year, figures anywhere between 2500 to 4500 people have been put forward. The early west was a wild, adventurous place, which drew many individuals to it for various reasons like: money, adventure or health. This list, far from complete, will hopefully recognize those who are found in the journals of the day. These individuals, whether they were well known or not, led interesting lives, had grand adventures and many stories to tell. I guess in a way, this list is for the unknown. Ones who came out, maybe for a short time, saw the west as it was, but never made a list of “famous” men who helped tame the west.
So for you, the viewer, here is my list in its latest form. This updated edition of where to find individuals is taken from 85 of the most common journals and diaries of the American fur trade. The total number of people recorded here is about 2570 and along with these names are approximately 4650 entries on where to find them in these books. This large group is far from the total number that actually was in the early west. Some names might never be found, as the people they were with may not of written any record of their events or the men and women surrounding them. Or the only record of an event or group may have been lost, destroyed or misplaced.
I do hope this data base of names will be a help to you; either as a way to find a long lost relative or to search for information an individual. May it shed a little more light on this time period and help you in your knowledge of a time frame that I love. All the pictures shown here were taken by me of places where some of these men left their names.

How to use this data base:
Think of a name you would like to find out some information on. For example let’s use:
Joseph Barnett trappers 157
Mtn 74 85 107-9
We have his name and two books where he is mentioned. The notes given are the book title (see list on complete titles and their associating shorter name) and the page in the book to find him. The only exception is “haf”, where the volume and page is given. I have tried to make this as easy as possible, but I need to give the viewers some helpful hints:
-look for various spellings of a last name, specially if it is French or Spanish. Americans sometimes spell them phonically or incorrectly.
-try the first name or last name only, as in some journals they are called by that and not the full name.
-if they have a nick name or have the name “Baptiste” or “Pierre” as part of their recognized name be sure to see what I have listed on them on with their first and last names.
-Know the American/ French/Spanish versions of names. John/ Jean/ Juan is just one example of this.
-if you see the note “book”, he or she has written a journal or dairy. I will note the abbreviated title after this.
-when you see “…”, this means there are more places in the book than I can note here and you would want to see the index at the back of the book for all of them.
- The title Captain, Colonel or major doesn’t mean they were in the army in any form. The title was some times given to a party leader or organizer.
-I included all the original spellings, some which are phonic, and if a name is spelled differently I have tried to keep that with the reference it is found at.
-if a job title or description, tribe affiliation or important note is shown with the places they are mentioned, I included this in between the name and places found.
Lastly, any lapses, incorrectness or errors are my fault. Forgive me, this is and always will be an ongoing project. If you find any need of correction, let me know as it will help with the next time I update it.
