The River of the West Life & Adventure in the Rocky Mountains

The River of the West Life & Adventure in the Rocky Mountains and Oregon [Illustrated]: embracing events in the life-time of a Mountain-Man & Pioneer with Early History of North-Western Slope ...

This book tells the story of mountain man Joe Meek. Joseph Lafayette "Joe" Meek (1810â€“1875) was a trapper, law enforcement official, and politician in the Oregon Country and later Oregon Territory of the United States. A pioneer involved in the fur trade before settling in the Tualatin Valley, Meek would play a prominent role at the Champoeg Meetings of 1843 where he was elected as a sheriff. Later he served in the Provisional Legislature of Oregon before being selected as the United States Marshal for the Oregon Territory.

Joe Meek was one of the West's irresistible characters-dashing, devil-may-care, cheeky, irreverent, more fun than a playful grizzly cub. It is our good luck that Joe knew how to yarn his mountain experiences truly and colorfully and with only a mite of stretching, and that he happened to cross trails with Frances Fuller Victor, who had the sense to see the worth of his tale as Joe told it-in the raw.
