George A. Custer with Full Account of His Last Battle E-text prepared by Greg Bergquist, Cathy Maxam, and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team "Eleven Years in the Rocky Mountains and Life on the Frontier" by Frances F. Victor is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book chronicles the life and adventures of Joseph L. Meek, a quintessential mountain-man and trapper who played a significant role in the early exploration and settlement of the Oregon territory.

The opening of this narrative introduces Joseph L. Meek, detailing his early life in Virginia and his decision to seek adventure beyond his mundane existence. At just eighteen, he joins a fur-trapping expedition led by William Sublette, where he begins his journey into the untamed wilderness of the Rocky Mountains. The text paints a picture of the group's departure from St. Louis, the challenges they face on the journey, and Meek's initial encounters with the rugged lifestyle.
