Artikelbeschreibung vom Verkäufer

Newly rebound in quarter calf with dark green cloth boards, black leather spine title label "March of the Mounted Riflemen," spine panels in blind, scroll tooling at junction of leather/cloth, 6 x 9 inches. New white end papers. 490 pp. plus 36 lithograph plates, 1 folding woodcut plan, & 4 folding charts. Foxing present in many places. This journal is an account of the first United States military expedition to travel the entire length of the Oregon Trail, from Fort Leavenworth to Fort Vancouver, May to October, 1849.

Cross's Report, in the Form of a Journal, is part of the Quartermaster's Report for this volume. Osborne Cross (1803-1876) b. Libertytown, Maryland; d. New York City. Cross was a career soldier, graduating from the U.S. Military Academy in 1825, was assigned to the Infantry, and served on garrison, frontier, and commissary duty at different stations until his retirement in 1866 with the rank of Colonel. He was in command of this expedition with the rank of major, and his report is known for providing the most detailed and reliable descriptions of the emigrant trail to Oregon, including Gold Rush information.
