"astoria Or Anecdotes Of An Enterprise Beyond The Rocky Mountains" By Washington Irving, 2 Volumes

Published 1897. Very good condition. Two volume set in maroon cloth with gilt lettering and gilt decorated front board and spine, top edge gilt. At the request of John Jacob Astor, Washington Irving agreed to write the story of Astor's ill-fated attempt to control the lucrative fur trade of the Pacific Northwest by establishing a fort at the most of the Columbia River in 1811. Irving was given access to Astor's huge collection of manuscript material, and in the Introduction, Irving also acknowledges the use of some information from previously published works.
