"In stressing the exploitation and destruction of the physical and human environment rather than the usual frontier romanticism, David Wishart has provided for students of the trans-Mississippi fur trade a valuable service."-Journal of the Early Republic. A standard reference work that] should be required reading for all students of the American west."-Pacific Historical Review. "The whole fur trade] system is traced out from the Green River rendezvous or the Fort Union post to the trading houses of St. Louis and the auctions in New York and Europe. Such factors as capital formation, shifting commercial institutions, the role of advanced market information, and the nature, kinds, costs, and speed of transportation are all worked into the story, as is the relationship of the whole fur trade to national and international business cycles. This is an impressive achievement for a book so brief. . . . It] opens out onto new methodological vistas and paradigms in western history."-William H.

The best electric opener by far!
Color: Stainless Steel, Size: 4-in-1
This is the 3rd or 4th opener I've purchased in the last two years. This is by far the best! Top reasons this is the best:
#1: it has opened every single bottle I've tried - even ones the other struggled with
#2: press the button and let go; you don't have to hold the stupid button in (great for folks with bad thumbs)
#3: I like the light
#4: Battery level indicator and battery life
ALL THIS translates to great value, ease of use, great cork removal
The only thing I didn't like is that there is no stand per se (it rests on the foil cutter). Easily solved with several stands from the other inferior openers

Highly recommended for wine lovers☝️
Color: Stainless Steel, Size: 4-in-1, Color: Stainless Steel, Size: 4-in-1
I recently purchased an electric wine opener, and it has completely transformed my wine-drinking experience. This sleek gadget effortlessly uncorks bottles with just the push of a button, making it perfect for gatherings or a cozy night in.
The design is user-friendly, and the built-in LED light helps guide the process. I particularly appreciate how it works on various cork types without damaging them. The battery life is impressive; I can open several bottles on a single charge.
Cleanup is a breeze, as the device is easy to store and doesn’t require any additional tools. Overall, I highly recommend an electric wine opener for anyone looking to enhance their wine experience with minimal effort. It’s a game-changer!
