Furs To Furrows: An Epic Of Rugged Individualism is a book written by Sydney Greenbie that tells the story of the American West and its transformation from a land of fur traders and trappers to one of agriculture and industry. The book is set in the mid-19th century and follows the lives of several individuals who played a pivotal role in shaping the West, including mountain men, pioneers, and entrepreneurs.The book explores the challenges faced by these individuals as they sought to carve out a new life in the West, including hostile Native American tribes, harsh weather conditions, and limited resources. It also delves into the conflicts that arose between different groups of settlers, such as the tension between farmers and ranchers over land use.Throughout the book, Greenbie emphasizes the importance of rugged individualism in the West, as well as the entrepreneurial spirit that drove many of the settlers to succeed. He also highlights the impact of technology and innovation on the region, particularly in the areas of transportation and communication.Overall, Furs To Furrows is a comprehensive and engaging account of the American West and the people who helped to shape it. It offers a unique perspective on the region's history and sheds light on the challenges and triumphs of those who sought to make a life in this rugged and untamed land.Proposed Museum Of The American Fur Trade, By Carl Russell Included At The End Of This Book.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
