"In these pages are the explorations of the Scots who scaled the mountains and mapped the rivers of the Oregon country before the time of Lewis and Clark; the imperial fiefdom created for profit and Britannia by the fur-trading ventures of the Hudson's Bay Company; John Jacob Astor's ill-fated experiment on the Columbia River; the adventures of the mountain men who risked their lives in hostile Indian country in pursuit of beaver pelts; and the arrival of missionaries and land-hungry pioneers via the Oregon Trail."--Jacket.
