Item description from seller

Folio. (12 x 9 inches). 16 pages, as issued (a bit spotted, one or two fore-edges frayed). Sir William Drummond Stewart's 1843 expedition to the Rocky Mountains was recorded by Matthew Field, a writer on the staff of the New Orleans Picayune, who accompanied the party. References to the expedition were also made in the Niles Register of 1843 in several numbers, including the present where reference is made to his attending a Naval funeral upon his party's return to Washington, D.C. Stewart was "the scion of a noble Scottish family who became a Mountain Man of the American West. As a youthful officer of British cavalry, Stewart campaigned under Wellington and won battle honors at Waterloo. Coming to America in search of excitement and adventure, he made many journeys into the then largely unknown wilderness beyond the Missouri River. "Already a crack shot, Captain Stewart quickly became a fine frontiersman, learning the skills by which men survived in the wild, although he insisted on traveling in style, with luxurious accoutrements and a store of fancy foodstuffs. But he respected Americans and admired frontier democracy, and soon became the trusted friend of fur traders and Indian chiefs alike. "Stewart was in America for eight vigorous, vital years, making annual treks to the great rendezvous, where trappers and redskins met for weeks of trading and orgiastic frolicking. On his 1837 trip he took along Alfred Jacob Miller, a young American artist who made hundreds of watercolour sketches that became invaluable source material, a pictorial record of a colorful way of life that even then was beginning to vanish" (Mae Porter and Odessa Davenport "Scotsman in Buckskin", publisher's blurb). See Wagner-Camp-Becker 104 (New Orleans Picayune printing).
