Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 3 preliminary leaves, [9]-128, [5] pages : illustrations (including portraits). This is rather an attractive copy of the first printing of Mr Kelly's book, in a dust jacket that exhibits nearly every fault possible. The publisher's embossed leatherette binding is sturdy, with light wear to its corners and to the head and foot of its spine; a previous owner's signature is at the front pastedown as is the residue (ca one inch by one inch) of a small piece of tape, else the contents are fine. The price-clipped dust jacket, now in Mylar, is worn, torn, and chipped, its front flap detached, with a three-inch length of transparent tape at its front panel. 420 grams. Seller Inventory # 014690

Revised Edition. 361pp. Octavo [23.5 cm] Black cloth with the title gilt stamped on the spine. Very good/Very good. Caleb Greenwood was a giant figure in the early West. From his early days along the Missouri River as a trapper until years later as an octogenarian he piloted the Ide Party over the Sierra Nevada in 1845, Greenwood was involved with many of the great happenings that shaped the Western history. This book deals with his early life in the fur trade, his important role in the overland emigration to California in 1844-1845, his subsequent contribution as one of the more important trailblazers and guides, his part in the relief of the Donner Party, and his activities along the American River after the discovery of gold at Sutter's Mill in 1848. Kelly originally authored and privately published this book in 1936. In a letter several years later, now in the Charles Kelly Papers at the Utah Historical Society, Morgan wrote that he had a "whole raft corrections" for the book should Kelly ever decide to revise it. This edition, completely rewritten and including new information, was the fruit of that letter and their cooperation. Saunders 52. Seller Inventory # 7501
