In her new preface to the Bicentennial Edition of Columbia Journals, Barbara Belyea considers the fur-trade context of journals, reports, and memoirs that shaped both Thompson's perception of contemporary people, places, and events and our own perception of Thompson's historical importance. The journals provide a detailed picture of the fur business during its greatest expansion, offer a glimpse of Native culture at the moment of contact with Europeans, and describe landscapes that have since been transformed by settlement and industry.
