San Francisco: The Book Club of California, 1964 One of 425 copies designed by Jack Werner Stauffacher of The Greenwood Press and printed by Stanford University Press. Introductions by Allan Nevins and Dale L. Morgan. Frontispiece portrait of Frémont, large folding map in rear pocket. Decorated gray boards. A very fine copy. The report of this third expedition of Frémont is uncharacteristically short, due to Frémont's court martial and resignation from military service. Nevertheless, it enjoyed great popularity since the discovery of gold was announced almost simultaneously with its publication in 1848. This fine press edition includes an excellent introduction to the Memoir by Allan Nevins and an equally scholarly introduction to the Map of Oregon & Upper California by Dale Morgan. A handsome reprint of the 1848 edition..
