Synopsis""Commerce of the Prairies"" is a journal written by Josiah Gregg, a Santa Fe trader, detailing his travels and experiences during the mid-1800s in the American West. The book covers his journey from Missouri to Santa Fe, New Mexico, and his subsequent travels throughout the region, including Texas, Mexico, and California. Gregg describes the various native tribes he encounters, the landscapes and natural resources of the region, and the challenges and dangers of trading in the West.
