In the territories that had been explored by Lewis and Clark, the big news is fur trading, a lucrative business which produces the country's first millionaire, John Jacob Astor. Some species are overhunted as a result of the market for furs. The fur trade also upsets the traditional relationship between Native Americans and animals. When fur traders establish factories that later become trading posts, Indians become dependent upon trade items and lose their knowledge and ability to do things they had done before.
