03.10: Astoria: Astor and Jefferson's Lost Pacific Empire

2014-02-18 23:35:14| Powells Books Events Calendar

In the tradition of The Lost City of Z and Skeletons on the Zahara, Peter Stark's Astoria (Ecco Press) is the thrilling, true-adventure tale of the 1810 Astor Expedition, an epic, now forgotten three-year journey to forge an American empire on the Pacific Coast. Stark offers a harrowing saga in which a band of explorers battled nature, starvation, and madness to establish the first American settlement in the Pacific Northwest and opened up what would become the Oregon Trail, permanently altering the nation's landscape and its global standing. This event is sponsored by the Oregon Historical Society.
