The Adventures of Captain Bonneville [And] Bracebridge Hall

<p>Two classic works by Washington Irving are presented in one volume. The Adventures of Captain Bonneville recounts the expeditions of Captain Benjamin Bonneville in the American West during the 1830s. Irving's narrative based on Bonneville's journals provides a fascinating glimpse into the lives of fur trappers Native American tribes and the landscapes of the Rocky Mountains and beyond.</p><p>Bracebridge Hall subtitled The Humourists is a collection of essays and stories set in a fictional English manor house. In this work Irving employs his characteristic wit and charm to depict the customs characters and social life of rural England reminiscent of his earlier success with The Sketch Book. Together these works showcase Irving's versatility as a writer and his enduring contribution to American literature.</p><p>This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
