Description
On a steep plateau, overlooking the Missouri River in 1828, men of the newly-formed Upper Missouri Outfit, would build a trading post near the confluence of the Missouri and Yellowstone Rivers. Fort Union would come to be known as one of the great successes of the American Fur Trade, where Native Americans and white Europeans would have a peaceable trading relationship for almost forty years.
