Hardcover. Condition: Fine. First Edition. Hastings House, New York, 1949. Hardcover. Book Condition: Fine. First Edition. 63 pp. Original slipcase with mounted paper label. The slipcase is good +. Beginning to split along both the top and bottom and wear along the edge of the spine and the corners. Copy 624 of 1,000, numbered on colophon. Editor's note: "While the promise of gold may have influenced [the party's decision to go west], it was evidently not the prime reason for the move. Throughout the journal, the author is alert to mining activities, but his real enthusiasm is for the beautiful pasture lands and the possibilities of cultivation.[The Sacramento Valley's] golden beauty appealed more to the farmer in them than did the inexhaustible mineral wealth over which men were already fighting. Consequently, they never went into the mining district." See Mintz, "The Trail," pp 81-82, no. 273: "Kilgore speaks of the burning of the Mormon "Winterquarters," along with a number of other interesting occurrences he encountered. This was taken from the original manuscript which was in the form of a day-by-day diary. Nicely printed.".

First edition. Limited to 1000 numbered copies. Edited by Joyce Rockwood Muench from the original manuscript. 63pp. Original boards, paper labels on spine and front cover. A very fine copy with publisher's slipcase. "One of the most valuable records of 1850" (Mattes). Gives an especially good account of the destruction of the old Mormon Winter Quarters on the west bank of the Missouri. At the age of 32, Kilgore, his father, and a small company set out for California from Keokuk, Iowa. They followed the North Platte route and entered California via the Humboldt and Carson rivers. They eventually reached Hangtown. The vast majority of Kilgore's journal is devoted to the overland trek. He does provide a concluding entry describing life and happenings in Sacramento, the Squatter Riots, ranching and agriculture, Indians, and the gold mines. [Kurutz: 376].
