Synopsis

While Bonney’s “Recollections…” is brief, approx. 24 pages, it contains a wealth of early western history and a litany of early explorers, frontiersmen, politicians, con men, preachers, and settlers who helped build the Oregon Territory, hidden within those few pages.
This book is an effort to tease that history and the people from between the lines of Benjamin’s recollections. In short, nearly every detail mentioned, from their journey across the Oregon Trail to the establishment of home and community, raises questions in my mind, driving me to dig deeper and learn more about their lives.
So, this version of the Recollections of Benjamin Franklin Bonney is not simply a retelling of his tale, but a dissection of the things, places, and people he mentions. It is the background of his story.
