The Adventures of Captain Bonneville Introductory Notice

In which we are introduced to the gallant Captain Bonneville, a soldier of French descent whose restless spirit and adventurous heart led him from the disciplined halls of West Point to the untamed wilderness of the Far West. His narrative, enriched by his encounters with mountain trappers and Indian traders, forms the foundation of this charming and illuminating discourse, gently coloured by the author’s own observations and the spirited locale of the Rocky Mountains.
