Benjamin Louis Eulalie de Bonneville (1796-1878) was a French-American U.S. Army officer, explorer, and fur trapper famous for his 1830s expeditions into the American West, mapping parts of the Oregon Trail, and publishing his adventures through writer Washington Iriving. He graduated from West Point, served frontier posts, secured leave for his Western ventures, established Fort Bonneville in Wyoming, and continued a distinguished military career, eventually retiring as a brigadier general after the Civil War.
