Hardcover. Condición: Near Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Near Fine. Revised Edition. John Cumming wrote in the introduction in part: "Theodore Potter's reminiscences are, in spite of such faults, an intriguing and exciting reading experience. Few men enjoyed such a variety of adventures over such a long period of time, extending form the pioneer days in Michigan into the twentieth century, as well as the pioneer period in California and Minnesota. The changes which he witnessed would by themselves make an impressive volume; but the fact that Theodore Edgar Potter was an active participant in bringing about many of these changes makes his narrative even more significant." See Cowan p.497: "The author gives us his experiences in an interesting and readable style." The first half of the work is devoted to the trip across the plains, and records in detail the hardships and adventures of the journey, with sketches of the country traversed, Indian tribes, etc. The ascend part narrates the author's life and experiences at the diggings, has adventures with Sonora Grays, lynching and marauding in southern California, his adventures in Walker's filibustering expedition, his return eastward to Minnesota in 1863 and campaign against the Sioux in the Dakota Indian War. The 1913 first edition is quite scarce today and the 1978 reprint is an important addition to anyone collecting on the Westward movement, the Civil War and the Indian Uprising that began in 1862 and pretty much culminated in the destruction of Custer and his troops at the Battle of the Little Big Horn.
