In June of 1824 James Ohio Pattie, then in his early 20's, left Kentucky with his father, Sylvester, and headed west. This is the account of their action-packed travels - fighting Indians, mining, rescuing women, fur-trapping, fighting more Indians, serving time in prison, working for a corrupt governor, administering Smallpox vaccines, - and finally returning home after six years of virtually non-stop adventure, broken only by occasional romance. Pattie dictated his story to newspaperman Timothy Flint in 1830, and the book came out a year later. History loses track of Pattie after that. He probably died in a cholera epidemic that began near Augusta, Kentucky, in June 1833. .

Second Edition. Full Tree Calf with gilt imprint on spine. xi, 300pp. Editor's Preface. Introduction. 5 Plates. "The Pattie account is one of the classics of Western Americana. The author and his father were engaged in the fur trade in the Southwest in the 1820s. In 1828 they crossed overland to California, only the second American group to make the trip by a southern route (the first was Jedediah Smith in 1826), and the first to publish an account of their journey. The party had difficult and dangerous experiences in New Mexico, Arizona, and California, where they were tossed in jail by Mexican authorities and the elder Pattie died. His son was released after aiding in vaccinating people during a small pox epidemic. A major work of Californiana and Western Americana, containing one of the first published accounts of the fur trade and of overland travel. This is the second edition of Pattie's narrative, differing from the 1831 edition only in the reprinted titlepage. The sheets in each edition are from the same printing. The editor and virtual author, Cincinnati literary lion Timothy Flint, achieved such a poor sale of the original edition that he canceled the titlepage and reissued the work with the 1833 date to make it seem current. Thus, while the 1831 edition is one of the greatest rarities of Western Americana, it is really the same printing as the 1833 excepting the title, and it is the 1833 issue which saw general circulation."--Bill Reese, The Best Of The West 61.

The "second edition" of Pattie's narrative, which is the first printed account of an overland journey to California. This printing could more accurately be called a first edition, second issue, as it is made up entirely of sheets from the first edition and differentiated only by a cancel titlepage. Wagner-Camp writes that this issue was created when E.H. Flint, son of the editor Timothy Flint, came into possession of the disappointingly numerous unsold sheets of the first and replaced the titlepage with a new date and his own imprint. The Pattie account is one of the classics of Western Americana. The author and his father Sylvester Pattie were engaged in the fur trade in the Southwest in the 1820s. In 1828 they went overland to California, only the second American group to make the trip by a southern route (the first was Jedediah Smith in 1826) and the first to publish an account of their journey. The party experienced difficulty and dangers trapping along the Gila River, eventually crossing into California. There they were arrested by California Governor José Maria Echeandia and jailed in San Diego, where the elder Pattie perished in his cell. At that point, "James had some knowledge of vaccination and probably saved himself further imprisonment by being able to curb, to some extent, the epidemic of smallpox that was raging in California at the time" - Hill. The bookplate on the front pastedown of this copy belonged to Augustin Sylvester Macdonald, a native of San Francisco who amassed a considerable wealth of California and Pacific books, publishing a catalogue of his collection as well as editing a handful of literary anthologies. "Has more than the ordinary interest and value.narrated with spirit and candor" - Field. "His fabulous tales make interesting reading, as do his descriptions of the country" - Hill.
