The 1832 Mountain Man rendezvous saw competition grow between the Rocky Mountain Fur Company, the American Fur Company, Hudson’s Bay, and smaller groups.
In the Fur Trading Business saw changes coming and competition growing during the 1832 Mountain Man Rendezvous. The Rocky Mountain Fur Company, up until now, had held a monopoly. Now the American Fur Company was giving them greater competition. Of a lesser concern, the British held Hudson's Bay Company, as well as even smaller groups were also sending out fur trapping brigades in the Rocky Mountains. On top of all of this competition, the Blackfoot Indians were causing considerable trouble for the white trappers.
