Historical Note
M. O. Skarsten was professor emeritus at Pacific University in Forest
Grove, Oregon when he wrote
George Drouillard: Hunter and Interpreter for
Lewis and Clark. The book is the standard biography of Drouillard, a
hunter and interpreter, who played a primary role in the success of the Lewis
and Clark expedition. Following the Expedition, Drouillard became a partner in
the fur trade with Manuel Lisa. Drouillard was killed in 1810 while trapping on
the upper Missouri River.
This collection includes: two sets of galley proofs with handwritten
editorial notes; one complete typescript; one prospectus; and one file of
materials for the books illustrations.
These records are organized in a single series of files.
This collection has no restrictions and is open for research.
