In 1835, Washington Irving met a soldier of French origin who had come back after a three-year expedition to the West, beyond the Rocky Mountains. With the help of their conversations and his manuscript of numerous notes, the author wrote this account of the voyage. The first chapters present the state of the American trading companies and their relations with the West. The rest is made up of the account of Captain Bonneville's expedition with his 110 men. This includes numerous accounts of bison hunting, Native American tribes (Black Ravens, White Bears) and most notably of The Deerslayer, the famous hero of Fenimore Cooper's trilogy and his most famous novel, The Last of the Mohicans.
