A propos de cet article

Original publisher's blue wrappers. 8" x 10." Forty-eight pages, complete. Illustrations in black and white and color, complete. The 2013 Keepsake of the Book Club of California. Printed and bound by the Key Printing & Binding in Oakland, California. Back cover lists other publications and Keepsakes by the Book Club of California. Pages and covers are very clean and intact. Binding is tight. Minuscule bump in the upper-right corner of the front cover. A Fine copy. Excerpt from the Introduction: "Quite naturally, the reader will become acquainted with mainly seamen (the crossing of the North American continent by land was not yet truly a reality), most of whom sailed for the French Navy or for commercial French traders. Even the two doctors listed among these Frenchmen (one of whom was also a scientist) performed their profession aboard ships. Less typical, yet no less interesting, are the missionary and the diplomat who round out this list of explorers. Taken together, these twelve enrich our understanding of the precursors to what could be called the 'French Rush' to California in the middle of the nineteenth century, that one motivated by far more golden reasons." The following figures are highlighted in this Keepsake with brief biographies and histories: "Jean-Francois Galaup de Laperouse," "Pierre-Francois Peron," "Camille-Joseph de Roquefeuil," "Gabriel Lafond (de Lurcy)," "Auguste Bernard Duhaut-Cilly," "Jacques Edmond le Netrel," "Paul-Emile Botta," "Gustave Duboc," "Alexis Bachelot," "Abel Aubert Dupetit-Thouars," "Cyrille Laplace," and "Eugene Duflot de Mofras.".…
