Peter Skene Ogden was a chief trader with the Hudson's Bay Company. In the period 1824-1829, he led five trapping expeditions to the "Snake Country" -- the upper reaches of the Columbia. Here are journals from each of those five expeditions. These have been converted to electronic form from publications of the Oregon Historical Society and the Utah Historical Society. They are available for either on-line viewing, or downloading. Note that the journals from 1825-26 thru '29 were edited before the 1824-25 journal was discovered, and that some footnotes in the former were made obsolete by the discovery of the latter.
