Description: Includes a section of black and white plates. The publisher's blurb reads: ''In 1845 Theodore Talbot was a sensitive young gentleman, son of Isham Talbot, senator from Kentucky. That year he started west on his second tour of duty with John Charles Fremont, this time on the historically significant expedition which participated in the conquest of California. Talbot's long letters to his mother and sister are the most detailed source available on the early months of that expedition, and they have never before been published. In California, the expedition was recommissioned as a fighting unit in the army, and young Talbot was assigned to command a force at Santa Barbara. Some of his adventures there, also, do not appear in other available accounts. With a detachment his elders could not quite attain, young Talbot recorded the vital stuff of the early, still unexplored West.'' This is Volume 61 in The American Exploration and Travel Series. BINDNG/CONDITION: gray cloth; the cloth is faded along the top edge, otherwise a Very Good book, with a Very Good- dust jacket; publisher's price on the jacket flap is intact. Gray endpapers. 8vo (about 8.5 inches tall). 210 pages.…
