About This Item
Unique early story of exploration and mapping of the West from Green River to the Great Salt Lake and on to Walla Walla. Bonneville and his party were among the earliest to do so. Also includes Joe Walker's fur trapping story over the Sierra Nevada to California
Condition: This two volume set has been restored to its original appearance as photographed. Woven cloth and aged printed paper labels convincingly mimic the originals, making this a two volume treasure ready for the future. Both fold out maps are original, as is the total text block. Maps are complete, with archival tissue reinforcement on some edges. One small corner of one of the maps has been archivally repaired. Please review photos and ask for more if necessary to make your best buying decision! NOT a library book.
