Forty Years a Fur Trader on the Upper Missouri: The Personal Narrative of Charles Larpenteur, 1833-1872The son of French immigrants who settled in Maryland, Charles Larpenteur was so eager to see the real American West that he talked himself into a job with the Rocky Mountain Fur Company in 1833.

The son of French immigrants who settled in Maryland, Charles Larpenteur was so eager to see the real American West that he talked himself into a job with the Rocky Mountain Fur Company in 1833. When William Sublette and Robert Campbell sold out to the American Fur Company a year later they recommended the steady and sober young Larpenteur to Kenneth McKenzie, who hired him as a clerk. For forty years, as a company man and as an independent agent, the Frenchman would ply the fur trade on the upper Missouri River. Based on Larpenteur's daily journals, this memoir is unparalleled in describing the business side and social milieu of the fur trade conducted from wintering houses and subposts in the Indian country. As Paul L. Hedren notes in his introduction, Larpenteur moved comfortably among Indians and all levels of the trade's hierarchy. But he lived during a time of transition and decline in the business, and his vivid recital of his personal affairs often seems to bear out his feeling that he was "born for misfortune." His lasting legacy is this book, which is reprinted from the one-volume Lakeside Classics edition of 1933.

It’s a okay scent and spray.
Smell okay and lasts little while. The first one I received came busted so had to get a replacement but the second one was fine. Am not too much of a fan of the scent but gets the job done.

Nice scent- not overpowering
Scent: Apple Cider, Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 3)
This is a nice scent... not overpowering, but nice... The scent doesn't hang in the air for a long time, but it would be good for people who can't handle heavy scents. This is the one I use the most and I keep getting more. It's a cozy scent, like an autumn candle and enhances the experience of cleaning my counters, floors, etc. It's very sudsy... it takes a few rinses to get the suds out of the sponge and off of the counter, but it it dries quickly and doesn't leave it slippery afterwards. I use it for washing floors as well... I fill the bucket with very hot water and walk around spraying the floor directly, then mopping it up with the hot water- it works well, doesn't leave the floor slippery and smells nice for a number of hours afterwards.

Effective cleaning concentrate!
Scent: Basil, Size: 32 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I put this product to the test as soon as it was delivered by using it on my bathroom floor ans kitchen floor. We have two boys, ages 2 and 3, and we have a dog and 2 cats. We are in and out of our house constantly and our floors take a beating! This multi surface purpose cleaner concentrate was put to the perfect test! This cleaner worked really well. It cleaned the dirt and filth off my floors and left them feeling and looking clean. The basil smell is very pleasant. It's a light, fresh, clean smell. Not overpowering at all. A little goes a long way! It's still a gentle cleaner that packs big cleaning power! I was very impressed with how well and effortlessly it cleaned and the smell it left afterwards was a plus!
