Astoria: Astor and Jefferson's Lost Pacific Empire: A Tale of Ambition and Survival on the Early American Frontier by Peter Stark

5.0

What a ride. A non-fiction book that reads like a novel, telling the tale of 2 parties charged with reaching the mouth of the Columbia - 1 by land and 1 by sea. Stark is a wonderful story teller and the story itself is just on the right side of unbelievable!
