Sobre este artículo
Boston: Little, Brown And Company, 1931. First Edition. Very Good/very good. Octavo; xvii, 340 pages, green cloth. Ex libris J. Willis Guyton.
Splendid account of the travails of the Argonauts, based on their diaries and journals. "To prepare this chronicle of the California gold rush the California Trail was divided into eight sections, represented by the eight maps here reproduced on a scale of thirty miles to an inche. Then every available diary or journal was read for the light it might shed on pioneer experience in the region covered by Section 1. In turn that process was repeated eight times. The result was a story of actual experience covering 2200 miles of plain, desert, butte, mountain, river, and ravine. In addition to consulting this source material the writer has traveled most of the trail himself, mile by mile, several times." - Preface.

Sobre Thomas J. Joyce And Company
Joyce And Company has been in business as a professional rare bookseller and appraiser since 1975. Owner Thomas Joyce was the regular book appraiser on Home & Garden TV\'s \"The Appraisal Fair\\\" program, on international broadcasts. Thomas Joyce was the co-discoverer of George Washington's personal copy of William Leybourn's 1679 edition of THE COMPLEAT SURVEYOR, from which young Washington learned some of his surveying skills at age 16. The book had vanished for nearly a century until its re-discovery in 2017. It is now back at Mt. Vernon.
