Notes


MacGregor’s work traces the region’s development prior to large-scale settlement. The author surveys the early fur-trade era, the arrival and influence of missionaries, and the establishment of key trading posts such as Dunvegan. He also examines the evolution of transportation routes—from river steamboats to overland trails—and touches on the area’s mining activity.
