Sobre este artículo
Chicago: Black Cat Press, 1937 First edition. One of 250 copies printed and published by the Black Cat Press. 61pp. Chapter notes. Original silver-stamped blue cloth, printed paper label on front cover. A very fine copy. Collier (1789-1873) was appointed by President Taylor as Collector of the port of San Francisco just after the Mexican War. He and his party were among the 1849 westward-bound emigrants who came into the gold fields via the southern route - across the Colorado River westward over the Colorado Desert. H.M.T. Powell, in his diary, indicates that Collier followed the mountain route out from the Carrizo Corridor, his trail leading up through a canyon, over the mountains, finally bringing him to San Diego. Well researched with extensive chapter notes. Quite scarce. [Edwards: p. 87; Rader: 1430; Rocq: 9400]. .
