Captain
Benjamin L. E.
Bonneville left the east for
California in May of 1832. No one heard from him, and many people
assumed he was dead (or AWOL). Three years later he
returned Washington Irving (Sleepy Hollow, Rip Van Winkle) met Bonneville, bought the rights to his journal, and after editing it and recasting it in the third person, published it. It is probably the most literate, readable description of the fur trapper era..
