With his friend and companion Quincy Adams Shaw,he traveled up the Oregon Trail to the camps of thePawnee and the Sioux. This book is the fascinating journalof that hazardous experience. It is an authentic record oflife on the trail, an eyewitness account of the Mormonsand outlaws, trappers and Indians, pioneers and adven-turers who tried to conquer the frontier back in the dayswhen America was young. Historian Henry Steele Com-mager wrote: ?The Oregon Trail appeared in 1849, andwith its publication Parkman was launched upon hiscareer as a storyteller without peer in American letters.

Hardcover. Zustand: Good. 1st Edition. First edition (only printing that we know of). Cloth spine and boards, oblong format. Good copy, lower edge of boards and lower corners worn, top right tip of front board with small chip in the facing. Design of boards identical front and back. Aside from an illustrated title page and a copyright page, the pages of the story and endpapers as well are extremely colorfully printed edge to edge and text is worked in in the illustrations. A greedy magician attempts to create gold using a captured gold beetle, among other things, but of course it all goes wrong. Astonishing quality for a wartime book. As there apparently was no place for a price to be printed, there is a small ink stamp "7/6 nett" on a blank page facing the title page. Pendrey illustrated a number of books for the Folio Society; this appears to be his only solo work.…
