Little Brown and Company, 1943. first edition. hardcover. very good: soiling around edges of boards, dulled red topstain, owners name on half title page, text clean, binding tight./good: under (older) protective mylar cover. 8vo 524 pp. from front flap: "This book," writes Mr. DeVoto in his first chapter, "tells the story of some people who went west in 1846." Upon this unassuming statement is based this monumental narrative of a decisive year in the history of the United States--a year which saw the outbreak of the war with Mexico, Fremont and the Bear Flag Revolt, a great Oregon and California emigration, the conquest of New Mexico, the migration of the Mormons, the conquest of California, Zachary Taylor's campaigns in Mexico, Doniphan's expedition, and the tragedy of the Donner party of emigrants, half adults, half children. These narratives are told as stories in themselves, as related parts of the great national spectacle, and as the culmination of the whole movement of American westward migration from the Atlantic to the Pacific." #00812.
