The Overland Diary of James A. Pritchard from Kentucky to California in 1849. With a Biography of Captain James A. Pritchard by Hugh Pritchard Williamson
Denver: Fred A. Rosenstock, Old West Publishing, 1959. First Edition. 219pp. Quarto [27 cm] Red cloth with the title gilt on the backstrip. Near fine/Near fine. Item #7479
Excellent association copy. Inscribed by Morgan to his longtime sweetheart, Madeline McQuown: 'For Madeline, Dale.' This work is perhaps the finest example of Morgan's powerful capacity for editing. His attention to detail is manifest throughout the copious notes, but is best shown by the table at the conclusion comparing the travel schedules of every known diarist on the South Pass route in 1849. Saunders 31.
