Adventures on the Columbia River Including the Narrative of the Residence of Six Years on the Western Side of the Rocky Mountains, Among Various Tribes of Indians Hither to Unknown

Ross Cox was a fur trader for the Pacific Fur Company. In 1811 he sailed form New York, around the Horn, to Hawaii, and on to the Columbia River, exploring inland to Montana along the Clark Fork and Flathead Rivers. For six years he lived on the frontier--and beyond--in a violent world of white and red men, bears and wolves, frostbite, and starvation. He wasn't a hero, but he was a survivor, and a sharp observer who wrote one of the best firsthand accounts of the fur trapper's life.Cox, Ross is the author of 'Adventures on the Columbia River Including the Narrative of the Residence of Six Years on the Western Side of the Rocky Mountains, Among Various Tribes of Indians Hither to Unknown' with ISBN 9781589762343 and ISBN 1589762347.
