"Franchère joined the Pacific Fur Company and participated in the establishment of Astoria. The manuscript narrative, rewritten from the lost original daily journal, has a note on the fly-leaf: "This ms. is the original in the Author's handwriting ... first printed in French at Montreal in 1820 from this copy, revised and considerably altered by M. Bibaud, the Historian and Poet, Translated into English and published by Redfield in New York in 1854. This work formed the basis of Washington Irving's Astoria. The text as shown herein is so different to the published version, it should be reprinted verbatim, inasmuch as Mr. Bibaud has embellished the language considerably": - Toronto. Public Library.
