Cox Ross
Went to Astoria on the Beaver in 1811-1812 as an employee
of the Pacific Fur Company. When Astoria was transferred to the North
West Company, joined that Company. Spent five years on the Columbia, and
returned to the East overland. His narrative formed one of the principal
sources of Irving's Astoria, and is a valuable account of the fur
trade on the Pacific coast. =Bib.=: Adventures on the Columbia River.
