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.
