Pioneers of the Black Hills, or, Gordon's Stockade Party of 1874. Plates. 151 pp., 12mo, original pictorial wrappers. N. p. [Milwaukee], n. d. and no copyright The only narrative of the little-known Expedition organized by Charles Collins, Editor of the Sioux City Times, in 1874, and whose 27 adventurous members penetrated the Black Hills in that year, in violation of Gen- eral Sheridan's orders; who built a Stockade in French Creek Valley, near Harney's Peak; explored the Country; discovered gold; and were finally reached and expelled by Government troops under Captain Mix. The news they brought back, in 1875, started the famous Black Hills Gold Rush, and resulted in the founding of Deadwood and the opening of Dakota Territory in advance of the Government's desires. Aken, the author, was a member of the Expedition. 3.

Mexico, 1848 Both Sabin and Bcreiidt describe this Avork as "Extremely Rare." The criticism of Gen. Santa Anna so angered the Mexican patriot, that he imprisoned the authors, and ordered all copies of the book destroyed. Larned claims it to be the "best source on the conduct of the War." The account of the campaigns in California differs vastly from the American reports. See No. 929 for a translation. ALDRICH'S OVERLAND TO CALIFORNIA. 1851 ONE OF TWO KNOWN COPIES 7. ALDRICH (LORENZO D.). A Journal of the Overland Route to California by Lorenzo D. Aldrich, Late of Lansingburgh, Rensselaer Co., N. Y. 46 pp., 8vo, sewn. Lansingburgh, N. Y. Alexr. Kirkpatrick, Printer: 265 State Street. 1851 Left Albany April 18th, Fort Smith May 23rd, Santa Fe July 31st., and then via Eio Grande Mountains, Santa Cruz, Tucson, and the Gila, arriving at San Diego December 3rd. The only other copy known is in the library of Henry R. Wagner and the collation is the same as this. Every indication is that the pamphlet is complete. Mr. Wagner seems to be in error, as an extra leaf inserted accounts for the pagination. The narrative of the expedition is complete and ends on p. 44 — the return or Homeward Route ends abruptly at the Bay of Panama. Without doubt one of the most important of original journals.

His narrative was the result of upwards of a quarter century of loving participation in the hunt of both game and Indians.

Esposicion al Publico sobre los Asuntos de Tejas. Por el. C. Estevan F. Austin. 32 pp., 8vo, sewn. Megico : Cornelio C. Sebring, 1835 This Explanatory Address on the Affairs of Texas was written by Austin while a prisoner in Mexico, in vindication of himself and the Texans from the charge of disloyalty to the Supreme Government. Raines states that it has never been translated, and that there is perhaps "only one copy in aJl Texas, that in the Bryan Collection." Austin's proper place in history is with the founders of colonies and builders of empire. All that Penn did on the Delaware, or Oglethorpe on the Savannah, Austin did on the Gulf, and more; standing by his colonists, sharing their privations, breasting with them the storm of battle, and laying down his life among them, leaving his ashes on the banks of the Brazos, in the midst of the people he loved so well. The above work is the only volume actually written and published by the Father of Texas, and must in consequence rank as one of the great cornerstones of Texiana. [see illustration] 33. Texas.

The closely printed text is the story of Bruuson 's year of explorations, covering upwards of 3,000 miles of travel, through the territory north and north-west. He headed a party of 14 men, who had with them "tents, provisions, axes, and other tools necessary to cut our way through the wilderness." The narrative is a careful description of the country, its soil, forests, streams, and scenery ; with remarks on the Fur Trade, discoveries of Copper and Silver, and observations regarding the possi- bility and best routes for future canals, stage routes, etc. 103.

The Fort Sutter Papers: A Transcript, Together with the Historical Commentaries by Seymour Dunbar Accompanying Them. The Thirty-eight Volumes brought together in One Volume for Purposes of Reference. Thick folio, original boards and paper label. Sutter 's Fort ; Sonoma ; Monterey ; Yerba Buena, and elsewhere, 1845-62. [New York: The De Vinne Press, 1921] Of this monumental work twenty coi^ies were printed, one of which ac- companied the manuscripts herein contained in transcript, and which fetched $8,450.00 iia these rooms in 1921. The transcripts -of the 161 documents are bound in their proper places in relation to the printed text; each group (of which there are 38) is preceded by an especially printed title-page and historical commentary relating to it, together with a main commentary, general title and detailed catalogue and description of the collection in its entirety. The Fort Sutter Papers were the subject of unavailing search for more than half a century. Bancroft, whose exhaustive investigations yielded many other priceless treasures, fi,nally abandoned hope of their unearth- ing, and admitted in his volumes that a veil of mystery shrouded the EVENTS OP 1846 AND 1847 IN THE SACRAMENTO VALLEY, AND THAT VERY LITTLE WAS KNOWN OF AFFAIRS AT SUTTER 's FORT DURING KeRN 'S ADMINIS- TRATION AS COMMANDER THERE. An examination of the texts as herein assembled fully bears out Bancroft 's estimate of their consequence, and their revelation of the Fremont-Kearny-Kern rupture indicates the probable cause of their dis- appearance in 1847. The collection now brought together in its completeness for historical study contains carefully typed transcripts of all the original papers and 22 ')0 documents, among which we mention: Castro's Proclamation of March 8, 1846; Hardy's bill rendered for the transportation of the Sonoma Cap- tives to Sutter 's Fort and other Bear Flag services ; Commodore Sloat 's Proclamation of Annexation; the appeal for freedom addressed to Kern by the Sonoma Captives ; Kern 's correspondence with Montgomery concern- ing them, and Fremont 's instructions to him about them ; the' letters of Missroon; Eevere 's "Call all Americans to arms" letter; Edwin Bryant's, proposal for raising men to recapture Los Angeles; Montgomery's let- ters and orders to Kern; Kern's drafts of replies to Montgomery; Pickett's letters in denunciation of the administration of Hull and Mervine; Kern's records of garrison affairs; the Fort Sutter muster rolls and pay rolls; the appeal for help sent to the Fort by the settlers on Bear Creek; William Richardson's assertion of neutrality; Kern's report of his campaign against the Indians; Fallon's report from Bear Creek; a collection of hitherto unknown material relating to the rescue of the Donner Party; the letters of McKinstry; of Snyder; of Watmough; of Gillespie; Kern's contract establishing the first postal service in California in behalf of the United States ; a document by Semple establishing Fre- mont 's leadership of the Bear Flag activities before his elevation to that position by the Sonoma Convention, and a mass of other documents whose existence has previously been unknown. In addition, there is also Eichard Kern's report to Senator Gwin on overland railway routes, and a remarkable assemblage of papers dealing with the disaster to Fremont's Fourth Expedition (of which both Edward and Eichard Kern Avere members) in the New Mexican Mountains during the winter of 1848 ; the rupture between Fremont and the Kerns due to- that event; Fremont's unjustified attempt to place the blame for the catastrophe on "Old Bill" Williams; the deaths of Williams and Dr. Benjamin Kern; the loss of the Fort Sutter records (including these papers) during the fatal winter retreat from the New Mexican Moun- tains; and the long search afterward made in an endeavor to recover the manuscripts. Any attempt to emphasize the extraordinary nature, importance and historical value of these writings would be needless. It may safely be said that they are essential in any study or understanding of the Western movement and Conquest of California. In its physical character the volume has seldom been equalled as a splendid example of modern printing and bookmaking. EDWARD KERN'S ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT ACCOUNT OF THE DISASTER TO THE DONNER PARTY. WRITTEN AT SUTTER'S FORT TO COM- MANDER HILL AT SAN FRANCISCO 118a. CALIFORNIA. Kern (Edward M.). Original Auto- graph Manuscript letter announcing the disaster to the Donner Party, giving details of the cannibalism and other horrors attend- ing it ; and discussing the necessity of and preparations for the rescue of the survivors. Signed "Kern." 4 pp., folio. ^ [Sutter's Fort, March, 1847] The letter deals entirely Avith the most dreadful catastrophe in the annals of Overland migration. It begins, "Sir", and is obviously writ- ten to Hull, who had superseded Montgomery, although the paper is en- dorsed on back, "Important to Montgomery." Kern explains that he has no authority to incur the heavy expense demanded l)y the situation, and "therefore lays the case before you." He describes tiie awful plight of the emigrants; tells of their drawing of lots to see who should die; their living on the dead bodies; says Sutter has done all he could; tries to express his own sympathy; and declares that the tragedy is so unlieard of that "it has the appearance of romance." . . . "Of the 16 who started, but seven have arrived — among the nine left, seven were 23 eaten . . . There are 60 souls remaining back, the major part of which are women. ' ' The report covers four closely written folio pages and narrates in gruesome detail (and for the first time) the events and hapi^enings of what has come to be known as the Donner Tragedy. KERN AND SUTTER DOCUMENT ON FREMONT'S NOVEMBER CAMPAIGN OF 1846 118b. CALIFORNIA. Kern (Edward M.). The Original Manuscript Document, signed and Dated at Fort Sacramento, November 12, 1846, telling of the purchase by Edwin Bryant of // /', supplies and merchandise for the Indians and Volunteers from Wm. A. Leidesdorff, with Sutter's acknowledgment thereof and , agreement to credit the amount ($711.50) to Col. Fremont "in my account current with him." Signed bv J. A. Sutter; approved bv E. M. Kern. 'Sutter's Fort, Nov. 12, 1846 An essential Document, being so far as known the only existing paper upon which both Kern and Sutter affixed their signatures and acted in concert. It is of especial significance in view of the light it throws on the question as to who was actually in command at Sutter's Fort; the paper is entirely in Kern 's handwriting and is signed by him as Commander of the Sacramento District. Sutter, shorn of all title, signs merely as an individual. 119.

Sacramento : Published at the Union Office, 1853 Delano came overland in 1849, and became a well-known and pros- perous banker in Grass Valley. His niche among the immortals of Pioneer literature rests on a somewhat firmer basis than the accumulation of wealth, that place being accorded him as the first Californian humorist to record the burlesc|ue side of the many strange scenes he saw presented during the flush times, and which, with many a characteristic mining story, he recorded under the name of "Old Block." The illustrations are by Nahl, himself a famous pioneer artist. 368. Old Block's Sketch-Book; or, Tales of California Life.

The author crossed the plains in 1852 and this narrative of her experiences is the first literary produc- tion written and printed in Oregon. Much of the work is in day -by-day diary form, and, as Bancroft says (tliough we question this being now regarded as a defect) shows a too literal observation of the incidents of camp life in crossing the plains. However this may be, as the Pioneer production of the Territory, the work must ever occupy a distinct niche among the foundation items of Pacific Coast history. 393. DUNN (JOHN).

Pictorial title-page and 112 illustrations depicting in humorous vein, the incidents of the trip to California, experiences on the plains, i*i 8a7i Francisco, at the mines, among the Indians, etc. 64 pp., ob- long 8vo, original pictorial wrappers. Cincinnati, 1849 A fine and perfect copy of a very remarkable and hitherto unknown book. Not in Cowan, Bancroft, Wagner, or any collection or record con- sulted. The 112 illustrations (each with its accompanying lines of de- scriptive text) constitute a series of excellently drawn and highly amus- ing scenes connected with the first news of the discovery of Gold in Cal- ifornia, the preparations for departure, hardships met with, and the perils encountered on the trip to the new Eldorado, life at the mines among the miners, Mormons, etc. In its entirety the volume constitutes a newly found historical phase of the contemporary gold fever, and is without doubt the first (as well as the most pretentious) record, in typical American caricature, of the immense national effect produced by the great discovery of 1849.

A heavily armed guard of thirty stalwart citizens was headed in person by King, and the transfer eftected. This induced some approbation, but provoked much more ridicule, some of which appeared in contemporary broadsides of caricature and lampoon.

Slater and his company of California emigrants reached Salt Lake in the fall of 1850 and wintered in the Valley. When the party reached Carson Valley in the following spring they held a meeting, and 200 members signed a set of resolutions and later a number drew up a memorial to Congress (both of which are printed by Slater) setting forth bitter complaints against the Mormons and charging them with treason, murder, larceny and all kinds of crime. The book is made up of narratives of the outrages and oppres- sions inflicted upon them while en route across the plains and in Utah, and was put into book form in order to give warning to others in the East, who were about to attempt the Overland journey.

Howard's Campaign Against the Nez Perce Indians, 1878. 47 pp., 8vo, original wrap- pers. Portland: A. G. Walling, Printer, 1878 Sutherland was Gen. Howard's Aide-de-Camp. In the literature deal- ing with the Indian Wars of the Far West no narrative has an importance superior to this and few can lay claim to an equal rarity. Sutherland frankly describes certain phases of the campaign as "disgraceful," and lays much of the trouble to "criminal negligence." The two other known copies, recorded by Smith, are those in the Oregon Historical Society and the Library of Whitman College. One theory attributes the virtually com- plete disappearance of the narrative to the character of its disclosures. 185 1037. SWAN (J. G.).

The Memorial is dated March 10, 1822, and is signed by 70 names, among them being that of Sam. ILoustom (sic). The Association's agents were Col. D. Andrew Erwin of Tenn., Capt. Robert D.

Philadelphia: Privately Printed, 1889 The author was the sister of Theodore Winthrop, of "Canoe and Saddle ' ' fame. Her volume describes a most interesting period in Wyom- ing history, of which there are but few records — when the ' * fort ' ' con- tained what society there was, and while it was still possible to see the real Wyoming Indian. She writes understandingly of them, of fort life, hunt- ing adventures, and of the country, through much of which she was the first white woman to adventure. 1152. YOUNG (CHARLES E.).

Map, Portrait and Plates. 148 pp., 12mo. Geneva, 1912 A valuable trail record, privately printed by the author in a small edi- tion and unprocurable. The work deals in fact only and presents no fanciful picture of the "glorified days"; on the outward march they were continually harassed and had numerous engagements with the In- dians; the events of the tedious tramp, together with the rough experi- ences of life in Colorado and Wyoming during the Vigilantes' Reign and while the Overland Eailroad was "building through" make up Young's chronicle. 211; fll^ 1153.

ZUNIGA (IGNACIO).* Rapida Ojeada al Estado de Sonora, Dirigida al Supremo Gobierno de la Nacion, Por el Natural del mismo Estado. 66 pp., 8vo, sewn. Mejico : Impreso por Juan Ojeda, 1835 Original Edition of one of the most important relations of personal experience and observation among the savage tribes of the Arizona-Cali- fornia border. No copy has ever appeared in the auction room; so rare, in fact, is this work in the original, that even Bancroft failed to locate a copy and was obliged to use the French reprint of 1842. Zuniga was at- tempting to found a colony on the Colorado and Gila, with a view of uni- ting California and New Mexico. His narrative relates to these projects and to an account of the harassments, desolation and miseries brought about by the constant incursions and depredations of the barbarous Apaches and other savage tribes of the border.
