Book Club | “Astoria” by Peter Stark

John Jacob Astor envisioned a grand trading empire circling the globe from a base in the Pacific Northwest. Read about the men (and one woman) he sent west by land and sea to face raging waters, diverse nations of peoples, starvation, disease, betrayal and the threat of British invasion in the War of 1812. The author will appear via Zoom.
