Sobre este artículo
Newtown, PA: T.S. Kenderdine, 1888. Hardcover. Good. T.S. Kenderdine. Octavo, 8.7 in. x 6,3 in., pp. 415, [1]. Illustrated with tissue-guarded engraved frontis and thirty-eight additional engravings. Dark brown pebblecloth with elaborate frame stamped in blind and gilt title and "tramp" scene in gilt to front. Gilt title to spine. Rubbing to extremities; surface scuffs to boards. Fraying to head- and tailcap of spine. Corners nudged. Front and rear hinges started, but holding. Light age-toning to unmarked interior.(Howes K-78). Thaddeus S. Kenderdine (1836-1922) made his way from Philadelphia to Michigan in 1858, staying only a month before he determined to head to California. He remained for only a year, returning to New York in 1859. A California tramp (1888) describes Kenderdine's adventures in 1858-1859: his trip west as a driver on a California wagon train, visits to San Francisco and life as tramp and ranch hand in Sonoma County. His memoir closes with his return via Panama in 1859. The last quarter of the book is a miscellany of Kenderdine's prose and poetry. (from Library of Congress).
