BEST DESCRIPTION OF THE OREGON TRAIL PALMER, JOEL. Journal of Travels over the Rocky Mountains, to the Mouth of the Columbia River. 8vo, contemporary 1/2 morocco, a bit worn, head of backstrip chipped; foxed. Cincinnati, 1851
The first edition of 1847 is a significant overland rarity. The more widely-published editions issued after 1847 were in fact the ones used on the Oregon trail. "Most reliable of the early guides to Oregon; in addition, the best narrative by a participant in the overland migration of 1845"--Howes P47; Wagner-Camp 136:5.
