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. Some occasional light wear, else near fine. An attractive set of this very scarce history.
