Besides the Mountain Man genre and histories of the Santa Fe trail and Gold Rush what are some good books about life West of the Mississippi between the War of 1812 and the Civil War?

Bent's Fort comes to mind.

I do like the three books by Bernardo de Voto:
Across the Wide Missouri, The Course of Empire, Year of Decision 1846.
