Description: Captain Bonneville was an officer of the United States army who had served for several years on the frontier, where the service required constant association with the Indians, either in making peace or war. Instead of becoming satiated with the incidents of frontier life, Bonneville’s imagination was so fired with the relations of trappers and fur-traders, of the wonders of the Plains and Rocky Mountains, that he obtained permission of the authorities to undertake their exploration. His journal of the incidents and adventures of his wonderful journey, is not less interesting as a narrative than valuable as a history… The book is crowded with descriptions of the savage tribes of the unexplored regions bordering the Rocky Mountains, with sketches of their warriors and chiefs, with accounts of skirmishes with their war parties, and the marvelous adventures of fur-trappers among the Indians, whom their own atrocities had made their enemies” (Field, 186)."
