Full Description: PARKMAN, Francis. The California and Oregon Trail: Being Sketches of Prairie and Rocky Mountain Life. New York: George P. Putnam, 1849. First edition, first issue, terminal catalogue B, binding A. Binding A is noted on first printing sheets only according to BAL Parkmans's name on spine without serif. Octavo (7 3/8 x 5 inches; 186 x 127 mm). [2, ads], [3]-448, [8, ads] pp., With sepia-tinted lithographed frontispiece and title-page, both by F. O. C. Darley. Publisher's green blind-stamped cloth, restored at the top and bottom of the spine. Spine lettered in gilt. Cloth at head and tail of spine a bit chipped. A bit of wear to corners. Boards a bit soiled. Inner hinges repaired. Scattered mild foxing to interior (as to be expected in an American book of this period). Some occasional soiling to leaves. Previous owner's old ink signature to front free endpaper. Overall a very good copy of the superlatively scarce first issue. Parkman's reasons for traveling the Oregon Trail in 1846 were to restore his health, as well as to learn more about Indian life and gather information that would be useful in writing the history he planned of the conflict between the French and the British in North America. The result of his travels ended up to be a very different story, one part history and two parts travel narrative and adventure story. He, along with his traveling companion Quincy Adams Shaw started their journey in New York, then across Kansas and Nebraska, and then to Fort Laramie, where Parkman went to join a band of Sioux. He lived and traveled with them in the 'Black Hills' (i.e. the Laramie Mountains). "This is the portion of the narrative which is not only the most vivid but also of greatest historical value.Parkman has given us a unique picture of life in a Sioux village before it was changed and eventually destroyed by contact with the white man." (Printing and The Mind of Man, p. 199). Due to ill health when Parkman arrived home, he dictated his account of their journey to Shaw. The first publication was serialized, beginning in February 1847 in irregular monthly episodes in the Knickerbocker Magazine under the title 'The Oregon Trail, or A Summer's Journey Out of Bounds. The title was changed by the publisher in hopes that he could capitalize on the publics interest in the California gold rush. The first edition of one thousand copies appeared in March and sold out in a month. This is one of the great literary and historical narratives of the American experience and "the classic account of the emigrant journey to the Rockies" (Grolier). This controversial text has remained a classic of the American West despite criticism directed at it. In part enthusiastic and in part pessimistic, the work offers a microcosm of the changes then taking place at the far western reaches of U.S. expansion. Particularly debated since its publication has been Parkman's view of Native Americans. Although he apparently successfully lived with a tribe of Sioux, he pronounced Native Americans a doomed people. In any case, this is the opening chapter of a highly successful literary career. BAL 15446. Grolier, 100 American, 58. Howes P97. Printing and the Mind of Man 327. Sabin 58801. Wagner-Camp 170:1b. HBS 69007. $2,500.

Erstausgabe
First edition, first issue of Parkman's classic account of his journey across North America on the Oregon Trail in the scarce original cloth, one of 1,000 copies issued in March 1849 (Howes, 97). Octavo, original cloth stamped in blind, gilt titles in sans-serif font to the spine, tissue guarded tinted lithographic frontispiece and vignette half title by Felix Octavius Carr Darley, with the ad leaf preceding the frontispiece present. In very good condition. Housed in a custom half morocco and chemise case. From the libraries of famed bibliophile Joseph Halle Schaffner with his bookplate to the pastedown and newspaper publisher James Strohn Copley with his bookplate to the interior of the chemise case. Rare. A completely unrestored example with noted provenance. The California and Oregon Trail is the gripping account of young Bostonian's Francis Parkman's journey west across North America in 1846. After crossing the Allegheny Mountains by coach and continuing by boat and wagon to Westport, Missouri, he set out with three companions on a horseback journey that would ultimately take him over two thousand miles. His detailed description of the journey, set against the vast majesty of the Great Plains, has emerged through the generations as a classic narrative of one man's exploration of the American Wilderness. "Mr. Parkman had all the genuine love of adventure of a frontiersman, the taste for the picturesque and romantic of an artist, and the skill in narration of an accomplished raconteur. It is not too high praise to say that his pictures of save life are not excelled" (Field, 1177).
