Sobre este artículo
Stockhol: C.H. Fahlstedts Forlag, 1862. [10],662pp. plus eight color lithographed plates (including frontis). Letterpress and illustrated titlepages. Contemporary three-quarter morocco and cloth, spine gilt. Corners bumped and worn, spine faded. Faint stain in upper edge of first quarter of the text, including some plates but not affecting the images. Lightly tanned. Good. Tales of adventures and travel in the California gold regions and environs, with some material on the role of the Mormons in the gold discoveries and their colonization in the West. Oddly, Wheat and Flake give precedence to the 1863 Berlin edition, the former not even noting this first edition. The lithographed plates are quite sensational, including rather vivid depictions of a prairie fire, a lynching, a buffalo hunt, and scenes round and about the gold fields. Zimmermann was the pseudonym used by Carl Vollmer, and this work was never translated into English. KURUTZ 655a. HOWES V140, "aa." FLAKE 9491 (note) WHEAT, GOLD RUSH 238 (note). COWAN, p.701 (note).
