Introduction by Winfred Blevins - Edward Warren is an intriguing, frustrating, romantic, odd and fascinating tale of the Rocky Mountain fur trade.
Originally, its author, William Drummond Steward, Lord of Grandtully and Baronet of Murthly, offered Edward Warren as a novel. The British adventurer wanted to publish some record of his experiences in the American West when that region was truly wild. But he was reluctant to put it forward as his own -- so he wrote this book as a fictional autobiography and the pictures he paints of his companions, the mountain men, and their trade, the fabled beaver trade of the Rocky Mountains, are an invaluable eyewitness account of a moment of the past.
