Two accounts of early western exploration
This special Leonaur edition has been created for those readers interested in the lives of the American trappers and explorers of the early nineteenth century. Leonaur's editors have brought together two related accounts for good value and to give most readers the most detailed and expansive insights into the subject. The first work is a well known and highly regarded personal account by the trapper Osborne Russell. It is joined here by Captain Nathaniel Wyeth's own journal of his expedition into the Oregon country. Russell took part in Wyeth's expedition and these two works enable the reader to view their principal characters activities from different perspectives. This is an essential addition to the libraries of all those interested in the mountain men and trappers of the undiscovered west at the time when the 'the beaver shined.'Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.
