| Description | 1 map: 28 x 46 cm. Captain Benjamin Bonneville, on leave from the U.S. Army, took a four year expedition, from 1832 to 1836, into the American west. They traveled parallel to the course of the Snake and the Columbia, and though they did reach Fort Walla Walla, they never managed to reach as far as Fort Vancouver or the Willamette Valley before turning back into modern day Idaho. From there, they turned south, and headed down into California (then part of Mexico). |
