Astoria Appendix

from The Washington Irving Library · host Washington Irving

In which the merchants of Canada, sustained by British capital and favor, are portrayed as long engrossing the traffic with the Indian tribes, to the loss and peril of the American frontier. And wherein Mr. Astor and his associates, having ventured fortune and foresight upon the vast wilderness, humbly solicit the countenance of Congress that this commerce might flow beneath the guardianship of the Republic rather than swell the coffers of a rival crown.
