Catalogue Note
The harrowing story of Pattie's expedition, the second overland journey to California.
Reissued with new title-page in 1833 from the unsold sheets of the 1831 first edition, this is the second of four copyright variants (according to Wagner-Camp), reading "one thousand eight hundred and thirty-three, by John H. Wood" on the title verso.
