Excerpt from The Shawnee's Warning a Story of the Oregon Trail The history of the United States is that of a young giant among nations. Many phases connected with our growth have been unique and can never he repeated in the life of any other nation, because there is no other continent like North America on the face of the earth. Many phases of our national life have passed rapidly into history like scenes of a big film story. Among those national scenes are the Fur Trade of the Far West and the Settlement of Oregon. It is on these two scenes that the present story is based. The American Fur Company and the Hudson Bay Company were the two great corporations engaged in the trade of buffalo robes, beaver fur and many other kinds of peltries.
