PARKMAN, FRANCIS, JR
The California and Oregon Trail; Being Sketches of Prairie and Rocky Mountain Life
New York: George P. Putnam, 1849. First Edition; first printing: BAL 15446; catalogue A; in Howes, Sabin, Wagner-Camp, and Grolier-American. The historian’s first book, a highlight of both Americana and American literature. Minute rubbing and trivial page creasing; the final leaf of ads is roughly opened; truly an exceptional copy and easily the best we’ve seen.
