	Benjamin Bonneville's Explorations in Oregon
		Bonneville's assessments of the tribes (as reported later by his "biographer" Washington Irving) were characterized by a keen and genuine interest in the cultures and customs of the tribes he met.
		Bonneville realized in late July that a year was an insufficient period in which to finish his information-gathering, nor could he fulfill his promises to General Macomb to return to the States by October.
		By September 26, 1834, the first of Bonneville's volley of letters to the Secretary of War, Lewis Cass, was received in Washington, DC Bonneville petitioned tirelessly to have his commission reinstated and in early 1836, he was recommissioned.

	The Military and Yosemite: The Bonneville Expedition
		Benjamin de Bonneville was born in France on 13 April 1796.
		The expedition led by Captain Bonneville, in retrospect, has earned the right to be noted for three key elements--the way in which the expedition was organized and the reasons for its initiation; its contribution in terms of providing information on geography, Indians, and the British presence; and Walker's discoveries in California.
		Captain Bonneville must be seen as responsible for directing Walker to the Pacific Ocean since without this mandate, the discovery of the Yosemite Valley and the immediate region would not have occurred.

	B.L.E. Bonneville (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Bonneville and his men ransacked the northern and northwestern mountains in their search for furs--and perhaps for details of British operations in the Oregon country.
		Bonneville took part in the occupation of Mexico City, earned a brevet to lieutenant colonel for "gallantry and meritorious conduct" in two battles, and a court martial for "misbehavior before the enemy," a charge he vigorously denied.
		Bonneville had been identified with the frontier most of his professional life, and had left his impress--for good or ill--up it; on balance, his life seems to have been a worthy one, and Bonneville a man of some imagination, energy, and vision.

		Bonneville's melodies and certainly much of his guitar work reflect songs from the Twenties and Thirties, and extending into the Forties.
		Listening to Benjamin, one feels compelled during different songs, and sometimes different sections of songs, to draw comparisons to any of a plethora of singer/songwriters who have clearly been influences.
		At the same time, Benjamin is clearly an artist of her time, sounding much like a number of contemporary folk artists and groups.

		In September 1835, Captain Benjamin Louis Eulalie de Bonneville wrote this letter to Secretary of War, Lewis Cass, in an attempt to be re-instated to the U.S. Army.

		Although Bonneville’s enterprise had a commercial component (fur trapping), the captain was also quite interested in the geographic exploration of the region referred to as the Oregon Country, the vast territory west of the Rockies that stretched from Russian Alaska south to Spanish California.
