The adventures of Captain Bonneville U.S.A. in the Rocky Mountains and the Far West
digested from his journal and illustrated from various other sources
by Washington Irving and Benjamin Louis Eulalie De Bonneville
While engaged in writing an account of the grand enterprise of Astoria, it was my practice to seek all kinds of oral information connected with the subject. Nowhere did I pick up more interesting particulars than at the table of Mr. John Jacob Astor; who, being the patriarch of the fur trade in the United States, was accustomed to have at his board various persons of adventurous turn, some of whom had been engaged in his own great undertaking; others, on their own account, had made expeditions to the Rocky Mountains and the waters of the Columbia.
