About This Item
New York: Clarke, Given, and Hooper Publishers. Very Good-. Hardcover. An edition that bears soiling and stamping to the pages and rubbing to the edges of the boards in otherwise Very Good- condition ; Irving Washington's Astoria tells the story of a young man's journey to the Oregon Territory in the early 1800s. His goal is to build a fur trading empire, and he quickly finds himself in conflict with the British and the Hudson's Bay Company. Washington manages to build a successful business, but at a price: his men are often brutalized, and he himself is almost killed several times. Astoria is a fascinating look at the early days of American expansion, and Washington's writing is full of vivid detail.; 8vo; 278 pages .
