[Full title] The Adventures of Captain Bonneville in the Rocky Mountains and the Far West Digested from his Journal and Illustrated from Various Other Sources

The French-born Bonneville (1796-1878) obtained a leave of absence from the U. S. Army in 1832 to explore the American West, and he set out from Fort Osage, Missouri, to follow the Oregon Trail. His real purpose, unknown to the Army, was to establish himself in the fur trade, but this objective was frustrated when the powerful Hudson Bay Company refused to do business with him. His party made it to Fort Vancouver in what is now Washington state before turning back eastward. Bonneville did spend considerable time among the Shoshone and Nez Perce tribes, and kept a journal detailing his experiences on the trail. When he returned to New York, he met the writer Washington Irving and turned this journal over to the American author. According to ANB, Bonneville's "fame rests largely on the skillful pen" of Irving.
