BINDING/CONDITION: light pumpkin cloth with dark blue text; a Near Fine book, with a Very Good dust jacket; publisher's price on the jacket flap is intact.. 8vo (about 9.5 inches tall) . Map endpapers. Description: Dust jacket art and interior illustrations by Canadian artist E Joseph Dreany; the interior illustrations include chapter head and tail pieces, a few full page drawings, a frontis in color, and three additional color plates. The publisher's blurb reads: ''In the early years of the last century great fortunes were amassed from the pelt of the beaver. Ships, cargoed with knives, guns, bolts of bright calico, axes, mirrors, trinkets, sailed to the fort at the mouth of the Columbia River. Among the fur traders was Ross Cox who arrived at Fort Astoria in 1812, and left in 1817. He kept a journal of these years. Appearing in this volume as a companion, is the journal of Alexander Ross, author, and servant of three fur companies. His writings constitute a valuable source on the history of the West. Both accounts were published many years ago and have long been out of print. Fortunately they have been rescued from obscurity by Cecil Dryden who presents them in a simplified form.''
