==Background==
Maxwell was born in Kaskaskia, Illinois, the son of Hugh Maxwell, an Irish immigrant, and Odile Menard, daughter of Pierre Menard, a French Canadian fur trader who had served as the first Lieutenant Governor of Illinois. Lucien Maxwell learned something of the fur trading business from his grandfather during his early teens. And, like his famous grandfather, Maxwell left home at the age of fifteen and traveled west. His father, Hugh Maxwell, had died that year, in 1834, and Lucien was ready to seek his fortune. He encountered and became fast friends with Kit Carson, who was almost nine years older. Both were to sign up with John C. Frémont in 1841 for western expeditions, with Carson serving as guide, and Maxwell as chief hunter.
