This time: Wilson Price Hunt, from Trenton, New Jersey, will lead the American Fur Company's fur trapping operations at Astoria. Known for his upright and fair demeanor, he partners with Donald McKenzie, a seasoned fur trader with extensive wilderness experience. They set off from Montreal in July 1810, hiring a crew of Canadian voyageurs. Their journey takes them from the ancient chapel of St. Anne to the bustling trading post of Mackinaw, and finally to St. Louis as a last stopping point before they embark on a journey into the wilderness. Along the way, they face numerous challenges, recruit new members, and navigate the complex dynamics of the fur trade. Join them on their adventurous expedition to the mouth of the Columbia River, traversing vast rivers, endless plains, and the rugged slopes of the Rockies.
