Introduction by James D. Hart. Illustrated with 14 plates reproducing original lithographs, paintings, etc. (8vo) original white suede-backed linen. One of 1000 copies by Edwin & Robert Grabhorn.
"If not the most widely read book on California, certainly this ranks extremely high on such a list. The author sailed up and down the California coast, trading for hides, from January 1835, until May 1836. He possessed not only extraordinarily keen powers of observation but a fine facility for expressing his ideas in writing, which makes this volume an excellent and very readable record of his experiences" - See Zamorano Eighty 26; GB 257.
Condition
A few small spots to spine, lightly rubbed; very good.
