A propos de cet article

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 original full calf binding has been professionally rebacked in matching calf, retaining a small portion of the original spine with "PATTIE'S NARRATIVE" in gilt. Upper 2" of front panel and upper 1" rear panel shows age-cracking to leather. Bookplate of previous owner, James Barnett, on front pastedown. Additional, smalll bookplate states "Presented to The Allegheny Theological Seminary From the Library of the Late Rev. James Barnett, D.D., Missionary in Syria and Egypt." Some tanning and light scattered foxing to the text block. A clean, tight very good copy of this rare and important work. Protected in clamshell box with title and year of publication on gilt on leather label on spine.…
