Extensive index in Volume three (100+ pages). An incredible feat of scholarship, Louis Houck presents a most thorough history of Missouri "Of all Missouri state histories, this one is cited most often by writers about the Santa Fe Trail. It contains a number of documents on early exploration and fur trade (see Wagner-Camp,3)."---Jack Rittenhouse. Some underlining on one page of the Preface, else an exceptionally clean, tight set.
