Two first American editions chronicling travels and adventures. The first volume of Crayon Miscellany places Irving's familiar narrator Geoffrey Crayon, a known Anglophile and Hispanophile, in America for the first time. The other two volumes are unrelated to America, addressing instead the narrator’s interests in England and Spain. The Rocky Mountains is based on the journals of Benjamin Louis Eulalie de Bonneville (1796-1878), an American officer, fur trapper, and explorer. While staying at the home of his patron, John Jacob Astor (1763-1848), Bonneville met Washington Irving and recounted many of his travel stories to the author, which no doubt inspired this work.
