This is General Henry Atkinson's report concerning his expedition up the Missouri River. According to Wagner-Camp, Atkinson "devotes most of his report to an account of Indian tribes and fur trade on the upper Missouri River, but he also discusses additional subjects of interest such as Jedediah Smith's meeting with the British traders on the Lewis River and his report of British activities on the upper Missouri." Atkinson also recalls his meeting with William Ashley who spoke of an easy passage across the Rockies at the headwaters of the Platte. 16 pages. Octavo, disbound.
