Hardcover. Condizione: Good+. Farnham describes his travels and adventures in California in 1840. He left Oregon by sailing ship for California (by way of Hawaii) and his narrative is filled with local color. The book is illustrated with 20 plates and a frontis illustration. This is a later printing of the original 1844 edition which was titled "Travels in the Californias." The book was republished in 1859 with a new title, "The Early Days of California." The author says that this book is a sequel to his previous book, "Travels in the Great Western Prairies" which was published in 1843. The covers are the original publishe's dark green cloth binding; the gilt spine lettering is dull, but still legible. There is foxing to the frontis illustration and its tissue guard, and some light tanning to the title page opposite the tissue guard. There is an occasional bit of scattered foxing, but most pages are clean and bright as are the plates. There is a bit of extremity wear to the tips and the top and bottom of the spine and the spine is leaning slightly. There is an old owner name in an old hand on the front end paper. He covers Indians, missions, Mexican War, gold, sea voyage, villages, traders, trappers, Hawaii, etc. Ref: Howes F49, Cowan p. 203, Graff 1294, Smith 2999, Wagner Camp 107: 13; B&W Illustrations; 12mo 7" - 7½" tall; 314 pages.…

Farnham was the leader of a group of Oregon-bound settlers, known as the 'Peoria Party.' Scarce. "According to Herschel V. Jones, this is the "first and most interesting" of Farnham's books on the West, and "it is the best account of the first overland-to-Oregon migration of settlers." Farnham opens his Travels by noting of his companions that "Some of our number sought health in the wilderness--others sought the wilderness for its own sake--and others sought a residence among the ancient forests and lofty heights of the valley of the Columbia." He provided a direct, vigorous narrative celebrating the West, with interesting insights on native cultures and geographies. Cowan p.83; Graff 1294; Howes F-50; Streeter sale VI:3349; Wagner-Camp-Becker 85:1. See Sabin 23872 " "The Peoria party, of which Farnham was a member left Peoria, May 1, 1839, and Independence May 30, following the Santa Fe trail to Ft. Bent, where they arrived July 5. Here the company divided, the larger number, eleven in all, proceeding up the Platte River, but Farnham with four others went up the Arkansas to South Park and thence over the divide to the North Fork of the Platte. From there they proceeded to Brown's Hole, and from thence up the Green River to Ham's Fork. On Bear River they met Meek. They arrived at Fort Hall Sept. 1, and found Joe Walker in charge. Thence they proceeded to Whitman's Mission, where they arrived Sept. 23. After a weeks' respite at the Mission, Farnham proceeded to Fort Walla, thence to the Dalles, and down the Columbia to Fort Vancouver which was reached on October 16th" (Eberstadt 113:524) (From Christie's auction record 2751-14 in 2013).…

Map. Condizione: Near Fine. Early reissue. Cerographic map [11 1/2 x 14 1/2"; 16 1/2 x 19 1/2" in mat and frame]. Nice bold lines. A very crisp and clean example. Wheat 494. From Morse and Breese's "North American Atlas." An important pre-Gold Rush map of California. The town of Sacramento is not identified as such, but is rather labeled "Suter's Colony," before his name was Anglicized to "Sutter." Carl Wheat writes in "Mapping the American West 1540-1857: A Preliminary Study," with regards to "Map of the Californias," "Farnham had gone overland to Oregon in 1839-40 and later visited California by sea. He claimed to have talked with Ewing Young, the celebrated trapper, and with a Dr. Lyman of Buffalo, and to have used data from them on his map, which is otherwise of the familiar Timpanogos River type. An overland route is shown proceeding across 'Farnham's Pass' in the Rockies, thence by way of Brown's Hole to Lake 'Timpanigos,' down Mary's River (the Humboldt), and over the Sierra by a 'low gap' (possibly Walker Pass). 'Dr. Lyman's' route from Santa Fe to Los Angeles also appears, and far to the north is a hint of Fremont geography.".…
