The Adventures of Captain Bonneville, U. S. A., in the Rocky Mountains and the Far West

De: Washington Irving, Benjamin Louis Eulalie de Bonneville

Narrado por: Carol Pelster

Benjamin Bonneville spent the years 1832 to 1835 on the adventure of a lifetime, leading an expedition of trapping, trading, and exploring in the wilds of Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, Washington, Oregon, Utah, Nevada and California.

Here is Washington Irving's colorful summary of the world that Bonneville observed, experienced, and cherished:

• The gay free trapper and his steed, decked out in wild array, and tinkling with bells and trinketry.
• The savage war chief, plumed and painted and ever on the prowl.
• The traders' cavalcade, winding through defiles or over naked plains, with the stealthy war party lurking on its trail.

The buffalo chase, the hunting camp, the mad carouse in the midst of danger, the night attack, the stampede, the scamper, the fierce skirmish among rocks and cliffs--all this romance of savage life, which exists among the mountains.
