Boller, was one of the Opposition traders, serving first as clerk in Clark, Primeau and Company and then as a partner in Larpenteur, Smith and Company. His account of these years, based on his journals, presents a remarkably realistic picture of the daily life of the Indian as he existed more than a century ago and is recognized as the \"most authoritative narrative of fur-trading among the plains Indians of the Upper Missouri, for the period\" (U.S.iana).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen it appeared in 1868, Boller's book was subtitled \u003ci\u003e\"Eight Years in the Far West, 1858-1866, Embracing Sketches of Montana and Salt Lake,\"\u003c\/i\u003e and included descriptions of a return visit to Fort Berthold, the newly discovered Montana gold fields, and the Mormon capital.
