Astoria
1811年，一群美国商人在哥伦比亚河口建起了一座名为阿斯托里亚堡的要塞，这个名字是为了纪念项目的资助人约翰·雅各布·阿斯特。当初人们曾设想把它打造成毛皮贸易帝国的前沿枢纽，可到了1813年，项目就以失败告终，要塞也不得不移交给英国。不过它存在的时间虽然短暂，却为世人了解大西北地区做出了不可估量的贡献：探索新的贸易路线、记录不同印第安部落的风俗习惯、确立美国对西北海岸的领土主张，都是它留下的宝贵遗产。
阿斯特从未放弃过对这次事业的自豪，始终坚信西部的未来终有一天会成为国家政治格局中的关键力量。为了佐证自己的判断，他邀请当时美国最负盛名、备受敬重的作家华盛顿·欧文，将阿斯托里亚堡的相关史料整理成一部流畅可读的历史著作。欧文应下了这份邀约，1836年，《阿斯托里亚》正式出版面世。
从它初次问世起——当年就连埃德加·爱伦·坡这样的顶级评论家都给予了极高评价，直到今天，《阿斯托里亚》一直被读者当…

Our Old Home
Our Old Home, a series of English sketches by Nathaniel Hawthorne. This volume of charming sketches was published in 1863, and (in the words of the author) presents “a few of the external aspects of English scenery and life, especially those that are touched with the antique charm to which our countrymen are more susceptible than are the people among whom it is of native growth.”

The adventures of Captain Bonneville, U.S.A.
在我着手撰写阿斯托里亚那段宏大事业的记述时，便养成了一个习惯——四处寻访与这一主题相关的各类口述史料。然而，再没有比约翰·雅各布·阿斯特先生餐桌旁的见闻更为生动有趣的了。阿斯特先生作为美国皮毛贸易的泰斗与祖师，素来习惯于在自家餐桌旁迎来送往，招待各色胸怀抱负的冒险家：其中既有曾亲身参与他所开创的这一伟大事业的伙伴，也有自行出资、远赴落基山脉与哥伦比亚河沿岸进行探险的行者。

Away in the wilderness
On a beautiful summer evening, not many years ago, a man was seen to ascend the side of a little mound or hillock, on the top of which he lingered to gaze upon the wild scenery that lay stretched out before him. The man wore the leathern coat and leggings of a North American hunter, or trapper, or backwoodsman; and well did he deserve all these titles, for Jasper Derry was known to his friends as…
