First Edition
First Edition. An adventurer in both the physical and intellectual senses of the word, Heinrich Lienhard was born in Switzerland in 1822 and immigrated to America in 1843. Published here for the first time in either the original German or in English translation, this initial section of LienhardÂ's enormous manuscript autobiography (more than half a million words) covers the years after his birth through his first several years in America. LienhardÂ's account of his early years consists of four segments: his early years and boyhood in the Swiss canton of Glarus, 1822Â1843; his journey to America, August-November 1843; his two and a half years in Highland, Illinois; and his life in the upper Mississippi Valley. This section ends in April 1846, when Lienhard began the arduous and dangerous journey from St. Louis to Captain John SutterÂ's fort at New Helvetia, California. Lienhard has provided an unusually full account of his early life. The book contains fifty-one chapters, with each chapter featuring one or more life-shaping incidents for this pioneer who would successfully cross the Rocky Mountains at the same time the Donner party, taking a different and more obvious route, perished. A few of the chapter titles demonstrate both the flavor and the thoroughness of this autobiography: "FatherÂ's Thoughtless Words-Abuse from Brother Peter and Undeserved Punishment by Father"; "An Appropriate Warning to Father-How Brother Peter Treated Me Deceitfully and Treacherously-How Apprentices Are Treated"; "Becoming More or Less American"; and "Short Stay at SchneiderÂ's-Going to MolletÂ's Where Three Times Daily for a Period of Nine Weeks I Am Fed Bad Cornbread, Oversalted Bacon, and Wheat Slop." An exceptional copy; fine in an equally fine dw. Particularly and surprisingly well-preserved; tight, bright, clean and especially sharp-cornered. Literally as new; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 255 pages; Description: xli, 255 p. : maps ; 24 cm. Translation of folios 1-51, page 1, line 22 of Lienhard's manuscript autobiography, which is located at the Bancroft Library, University of California at Berkeley. Includes bibliographical references (p. 243-248) and index. Subjects: Lienhard, Heinrich, 1822-1903. Pioneers --West (U. S. ) --Biography. Frontier and pioneer life --West (U.
