Descripción

viii,[3],xvi-xix,[1],655pp. plus eighty-two plates and portraits, and seven maps (four folding). Contemporary mottled calf, rebacked with spine gilt, leather label. Boards rubbed and a bit scuffed. An occasional fox mark. Very good. The first and only volume issued, including Fremont's recollections up to and including his first three expeditions, as well as his involvement in the conquest of California. The projected succeeding volume was never issued - a shame, since of the mass of material published about Fremont, this, his own account, is among the best. HOWES F367, "aa." COWAN, pp.224-25.
