Descripción del artículo del vendedor

First edition. 8vo. Dark blue cloth, 380 pp., frontis. [portrait of Major Osborne Cross], preface, introduction, illustrated, plates, portraits, teg, bibliography, index.

This book is important as the only complete record of one of the longest marches ever made. Most of the book is devoted to the journal of the quartermaster, Major Osborne Cross, which describes the experience of recruits unprepared for such an undertaking.

Included is the journal of George Gibbs, a civilian artist and naturalist who accompanied the marchers, and a report by Colonel William Wing Loring, the commanding officer. Together, these primary documents offer valuable information about the Oregon Trail and the great emigration of 1849."A fine, bright copy. As New with plain unprinted dust jacket, as issued.…
