Near fine. Bookplate on the front pastedown. The printing of this book was limited to 350 numbered copies, this is copy 114. Caleb Greenwood was a giant figure in the early West. From his early days along the Missouri River as a trapper until years later as an octogenarian he piloted the Ide Party over the Sierra Nevada in 1845, Greenwood was involved with many of the great happenings that shaped the Western history. This book deals with his early life in the fur trade, his important role in the overland emigration to California in 1844-1845, his subsequent contribution as one of the more important trailblazers and guides, his part in the relief of the Donner Party, and his activities along the American River after the discovery of gold at Sutter's Mill in 1848. Howes K. An uncommonly nice copy of this work. Howes K57 Charles Kelly (1889-1971) was a western historian of note, writing the first (and best) book on Butch Cassidy and the Wild Bunch. He also wrote books on the Hastings Cutoff (Salt Desert Trails) and the fur trade (Miles Goodyear and Old Greenwood. Kelly also served as the first superintendent of Capitol Reef National Monument in Southern Utah.
