Amazing story of the founding of Astoria, Oregon by land and by sea. I enjoyed the amazing effort and was surprised that it actually ended in failure. Much suffering and tragedy. The distances and communication difficulty are like space travel! Well-written. One effect was change from Lewis and Clark route to one that became the Oregon Trail. Hell's Canyon needed to be avoided! And leave to go west early to avoid winter in the mountains!
