History: Expedition of 1826-1827 : Rogers and Smith spent almost a year on this journey, leaving Great Salt Lake with fifteen men on a trapping and trading expedition on August 22, 1826. The trip is documented in the first of the two journals given here and a letter of Smith to William Clark : Passing southwest through lands belonging to the Ute, Paiute, and Mohave nations they reached the Colorado River in early October. Crossing the Mohave Desert, they arrived at the Spanish mission of San Gabriel, near present-day Los Angeles, the following month to spend the winter. Rogers' first journal (pages 197-228 in this document) describes part of their sojourn at the mission of San Gabriel. Because the Spanish would not let Smith trade in their coastal settlements, the party traveled north up the central valley before climbing through the Sierra Nevada Mountains at the end of May, crossing Nevada close to the route of modern-day U.S. Highway 6, and entering Utah near present-day Grandy. They reached the rendezvous site near Great Salt Lake again in July, 1827. Expedition of 1827-1828 : After this trip, Smith and Rogers immediately retraced their route with another group of traders, but half were killed before they reached California. Smith, Rogers and the survivors continued north from California into Oregon and up the Pacific Coast; this portion of the trip is described in Rogers' second journal (pages 237-271 in this document). On July 14, 1828, all but four of the group, including Rogers, were killed by Umpqua Indians in present-day Douglas County, Oregon. Excerpt from first journal: Broad, handsomely stripped, the cattle differ from ours; they have large horns, long legs, and slim bodies; the beef similar to ours. The face of the country changes hourly, handsome bottoms covered with grass similar to ours. Blue grass; the mou. goes lower and clear of rock to what they have been heretofore. MONDAY, NOVEMBER : 27TH. We got ready as early as possible and started a W. course, and traveled, 14 m. and enc. for the day, we passed innumerable herds of cattle, horses and some hundred of sheep; we passed 4 or 5 Ind. lodges, that their Inds. acts as herdsmen. There came an old Ind. to us that speaks good Spanish, and took us with him to his mansion, which consisted of 22 rows of large and lengthy buildings, after the Spanish mode, that' remind me of the British Barracks. So soon as we enc. there was plenty prepared to eat, a fine young cow killed, and a plenty of corn meal given us; pretty soon after the 2 commandants of the missionary establishment come to us and had the appearance of gentlemen. Mr. S. went with them to the Mansion and I stay with the company, there was great feasting among the men as they were pretty hungry not having any good meat for some time. 28TH. Mr. S. wrote me a note in the morning, stating that he was received as a gentleman and treated as such, and that he wished me to go back and look for a pistol that was lost, and send the company on to the missionary establishment. I complyed with his request, went back, and found the pistol, and arrived late . Book.

First edition. First edition. Red Cloth, 352 pp., preface. Introduction. Bibliography. Index. 2 maps. This book is one of the basic works in fur trade history. The expeditions of Ashley and Smith are but two divisions of one enterprise, the discovery and utilization of a central route to the Pacific by way of the Platte, the Interior Basin, and the Colorado River. This work consists of an historic overview of the fur trade to 1822, the Wm. H. Ashley narrative, the Jedediah Smith narrative, and 2 journals by Harrison G. Rogers. Zamorano Eighty #25: "The source-book of Jedediah Strong Smith, trapper and trader, and the first white man to enter California overland from the eastern United States. Contains the journal of Harrison Rogers, who accompanies Smith to California in 1826, several letters and reports by Smith, etc." "This first publication of these accounts served in large part to rescue Jedediah Smith from obscurity. Later treatments by Sullivan, Morgan and others have lifted his reputation to equal status with the other major fur trade figures of the early nineteenth century. This book is one of the basic works in fur trade history."--Clark/Brunet 55. Very slightly sunned on spine, else a clean, near fine copy. Protected in slipcase.

23.2x15.7 cm, pp. [1-15] 16-360 [361-362: blank], 3 inserted plates, 2 inserted maps, one in color and folded (plates and maps are included in the publisher's pagination), original green cloth, spine panel stamped in gold, top edge gilt, other edges untrimmed. Second edition, revised. This work initiated the modern period of critical study of the expeditions of William Henry Ashley and Jedediah Strong Smith, "two divisions of one enterprise, the discovery and utilization of a central route to the Pacific by way of the Platte, the interior basin, and the Colorado river" (preface, p. [15]). In August Smith's party set out from the 1826 rendezvous on a "South West Expedition" in search of beaver. By the spring of 1827 they were in central California, having entered the Mexican territory via the Mojave Desert route. The party elected to return to the Great Salt Lake through the Sierra Nevada. In May 1827, after two unsuccessful attempts due to heavy snow, Smith's party crossed the Sierra crest near the present-day Ebbetts Pass, the first crossing of the Sierra Nevada by European men. For an analysis of Smith's route see Francis P. Farquhar, History of the Sierra Nevada (1965), pages [23]-29. See Wagner-Camp, rev. Becker (1982), item 34 (note) regarding collaboration of Farquhar's choice of Smith's crossing of the Sierra Nevada by the Ebbets Pass route, resulting from the discovery of a transcript of part of Smith's journal published in 1977 as The Southwest Expedition of Jedediah S. Smith: His Personal Account of the Journey to California, 1826-1827, edited by George R. Brooks (Glendale: Arthur H. Clark, 1977). Howes D 21. Zamorano Eighty 25. A couple of tiny, very faint spots on front cover, a nearly fine, bright copy. (#168456).
