Historical Figure
Manuel Lisa
Manuel Lisa (1772–1820) was a Spanish-born fur trader based in St. Louis who became the most important American fur trade entrepreneur on the upper Missouri in the years immediately following the Lewis and Clark Expedition. He formed the Missouri Fur Company, employing several former Corps members including George Drouillard and John Colter, and established the first American trading post on the upper Missouri (Fort Raymond) in 1807. Lisa's commercial ventures built directly on the geographic knowledge and Native diplomatic contacts established by Lewis and Clark.
