Bob Gustafson asked John Bicknell:

Goodreads is marketing "Astoria" by Peter Stark. Washington Irving's work with the same title is on my reading queue. Have you read either? Any recommendations?

John Bicknell Peter Stark's "Astoria" is excellent. There have been several histories of the fur trade in the past few years -- "Astoria" was by far the most readable. I have consulted Irving's work for research, but have never read it cover to cover.
