Book Description
This is the deluxe Klickitat edition of this great classic a hundred and seventeen years after the first edition. It has come by its popularity, far beyond that of most books, even of most good books, by it having the frontier fur trade for a subject, by being a first hand record, by receiving a final enchantment from the one who could write Rip Van Winkle and the Legend of Sleepy Hollow. The "father of American literature" tells with gusto and charm the amazing travels of a picturesque soldier of fortune in the Far West during 1832-1835. Robert Reynolds, talented Northwest artist, did the original illustrations which make this book a collector's item. Adventures of Captain Bonneville is a companion volume to our Astoria 375pp.
