Title
The Discovery Of The Oregon Trail: Robert Stuart'S Narratives Of His Overland Trip Eastward From Astoria In 181213,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Robert Stuart saw the American West a few years after Meriwether Lewis and William Clark and, like them, kept a journal of his epic experience. A partner in John Jacob Astors Pacific Fur Company, the Scotsman shipped for Oregon aboard the Tonquin in 1810 and helped found the illfated settlement of Astoria at the mouth of the Columbia River. In 1812, facing disaster, Stuart and six others slipped away from Astoria and headed east. His journal, edited and annotated by Philip Ashton Rollins, describes their hazardous 3,700mile journey to St. Louis. Crossing the Rockies in winter, they faced death by cold, starvation, and hostile Indians. But they made history by discovering what came to be called the Oregon Trail, including South Pass, over which thousands of emigrants would travel west in midcentury. Besides Stuarts narrative, this volume contains important material about Astoria and the fate of the Tonquin, as well as the harrowing account of Wilson Price Hunt, who headed a party of overlanders traveling east to join the Astorians.
