Bound in the original red cloth, octavo, 259 pages with three maps, including folding frontispiece map. First publication (second printing) of Smith's own account of his second journey to California. The manuscript was discovered in an attic in St Louis, MO in 1967 following an address to the Missouri Historical Society by historian and Jedediah Smith biographer Dale Morgan. Morgan had encouraged his listeners to search their closets and attics for interesting materials relating to the fur trade and his suggestion and this manuscript thus came to light.
