  Benjamin Bonneville - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bonneville met with Kelley, who was impressed by him an appointed him to lead one of the expeditions to the Oregon Country that were to leave in early 1832.
Bonneville reported that many of the Native Americans he encountered in the Snake River were also reluctant to displease the Hudson's Bay Company by trading with the Americans.
In early 1836 he was successful, and in subsequent years was given assignments on the western frontier at Fort Kearny in the Nebraska Territory and in the New Mexico Territory at Fort Fillmore where he became the commander of the 3rd Infantry Regiment on February 3, 1855 after the death of Colonel Thomas Staniford.

 Bonneville Slide - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Bonneville Slide was a large landslide that took place in the Pacific Northwest of the United States, blocking the Columbia River.
Approximately three hundred years ago a mountain underwent a large landslide, splitting in two and forming Table Mountain and Greenleaf Peak.
The slide occurred sometime in the eighteenth century and may be tied to the Cascadia Earthquake, though evidence does not seem solid as yet.

 Bonneville Seat Install By David Wambolt (aka: Whammy)
The 93-95 Bonneville Tan Leather seats are a prefect match, and they did not change the colors in these years.
When installing the front seats on manual slide rails (for me, my driver seat is power, passenger is manual), be very careful not to have your head in front of the seat rails looking under to see how the holes match up, and hit the seat adjustment lever.
If you purchase a Bonneville front seat similar to mine, with the built in console, and it is power, the power controls are located on the front/left side of the seat.

 Ray Bonneville - Press
Bonneville was also influenced by music he heard on record and on the road.
Bonneville started playing guitar at age 14 ("I just played the E chord for months," he recalls with a laugh, "until my family asked me to learn a few more chords") and has been performing for 20-some years, but he only began writing his own songs ten or 12 years ago.
Bonneville coproduced the record with Tim Williams, a songwriter friend, and the result was nominated for a Juno Award (Canada's version of a Grammy).

The slide covered a 3.5-mile stretch of the river, drowning a narrow forest of trees for 35 miles.
Lewis and Clark estimated that the slide had occurred only a couple of decades before their arrival, but the looks of the slowly decomposing trees were deceiving.

 Lewis and Clark's Columbia River - Bonneville Landslide
The Bonneville Landslide was the most recent landslide which slid from Table Mountain, giving rise to the Bridge of the Gods legend.
The lake behind the temporary dam from the Bonneville Slide drowned a narrow forest of trees for 35 miles.
Ives Island, Pierce Island, and Hamilton Island are all remnants of the Bonneville Landslide, while the uneroded portions produced the famous "Cascades of the Columbia." The cascades, or series of small waterfalls, produced by the slide provided the name for the Cascade Range.

His own style involves generating a tremendous amount of sound: laying down a surprisingly complex guitar groove, rock-solid footboard percussion, intricate but understated harmonica licks, and weathered vocals that are always cool but never aloof.
Bonneville tours extensively due to the popularity he's gained in North America and Europe through radio play of his recordings.
yes, Mr Bonneville is probably one of the many musicians on the scene that doesn't get the recognition he deserves, let's hope the man gets a bit more exposure.

 A New Look at an Old Landslide
It is the youngest and largest of four adjacent slides that make up the 14-square-mile Cascade Landslide Complex north of the Columbia near Cascade Locks and Stevenson, Wash. The area on the Columbia's north side is prone to landslides because of steep terrain made up of formations that tip toward the river.
While the Columbia was dammed by the slide, area inhabitants might have been able to cross the river on foot, which probably gave rise to Native American stories about a bridge near Cascade Locks.
Research on the landslide intensified in the 1930s when the Bonneville Dam was being built and in the 1970s with the construction of the second Bonneville powerhouse, which was completed in 1978.

When Bonneville isn't on the road - a third home for him after all these years - those two havens are the place where he stays connected to the music that inspires him.
To add another layer of rhythm, Bonneville brings his foot down on an amplified piece of plywood on the floor.

The car we were to pilot — a 1987 open-wheel Bonneville Lakester with a 650-hp, 468-cubic-inch V8 Chevrolet engine — had topped 200 mph before.
