First Edition
Hardcover first edition - First edition. Young Douglass Perkins traveled overland to Sacramento from Marietta, Ohio, with 5 companions, and used mules to pack his supplies, rather than wagons. He found only disappointment and death in California, but left behind an unusually full and well-written narrative, one which has also been well-edited and extensively annotated. Illustrated with drawings and maps; appendices; bibliography; index. Large format. xxv, 206 pp. Fine in near fine dust jacket (some minor rubbing and soiling to the dj.) Rather uncommon in this condition.

First Edition
First Edition. Quarto. xxv, 206 pages, maps, illustrations, portraits. Bibliographic references, p. 197-201. One of the half dozen best of the travel diaries of the California gold rush, rising above the merely routine and often momentous accounts. Here he was able to capture the anticipation, the drama, and the terror. The work has also the pen sketches of Robert James Foose. A book that can be read by both the general reader as well as the scholar. The maps that often accompany the text helps bring to life the details with specific details often missing from average maps. How this group from Marietta left in search of gold mostly to find frustration and hardship but this account by Elisha Douglass Perkins tells the story with great fascination even for the modern reader. Bound in gold cloth spine lettering dark brown, endpapers are maps, upper corners bumped. A very good copy in an unclipped pictorial dust jacket illustrated by Robert James Foose, chip to foot, lower edge of rear panel and a tiny nick between rush and diary.
