Stewart, a British army officer, first came to America 1832.
In search of adventure, he traveled west to the Rockies where he remained for several years, participating in the fur trade and encountering many well-known traders, explorers, trappers, and mountain men - including French-Canadian Cree hunter Antoine Clement, with whom Stewart maintained a same-sex relationship over the course of a decade.
This account of his experiences is believed to have been written by Webb, but based directly on Stewart's journals and dictation.
