8vo., (6 4/8 x 4 inches). 2-page publisher's advertisement at end. Wood-engraved illustrations in text. Original plum cloth, gilt (extremities a bit scuffed, spine faded to brown). First English edition of Marcy's popular and eminently useful guide (first published 1859 with a folding map) to the vagaries of travel across the Great Plains: "With such a book in his hand, he will be able, in difficult circumstances, to avail himself of the matured experience of veteran travelers, and thereby avoid many otherwise unforeseen disasters; while, during the ordinary routine of marching, he will greatly augment the sum of his comforts, avoid many serious losses, and enjoy a comparative exemption from doubts and anxieties. He will feel himself a master spirit in the wilderness he traverses, and not the victim of every new combination of circumstances which nature affords or fate allots, as if to try his skill and prowess" (Preface page iv). Wagner-Camp 335:2. AN ATTRACTIVE COPY. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 002149
