Astoria : John Jacob Astor and Thomas Jefferson's lost Pacific empire: a story of wealth, ambition, and survival / Peter Stark.

Stark, Peter, 1954- (author.). Kramer, Michael (Narrator) (Added Author).

Summary:

Six years after Lewis and Clark's began their journey to the Pacific Northwest, two of the Eastern establishment's leading figures, John Jacob Astor and Thomas Jefferson, turned their sights to founding a colony akin to Jamestown on the West Coast and transforming the nation into a Pacific trading power. Peter Stark recreates this pivotal moment in American history for the first time for modern readers, drawing on original source material to tell the amazing true story of the Astor Expedition.
