About This Item
First edition of Collins's account of his overland journey and other western adventures. "The author was a post trader at Fort Laramie for 10 years.

In 1911, following Collins's death, the undistributed copies of the first edition were bound up with his Stories of the Plains and distributed to friends, per his will.
REFERENCES: Howes C594; Eberstadt 134: 536.
