Hardcover. 1st Edition. 2 volumes, 8vo (7 1/2 x 4 3/4 in.; 19 x 12.1 cm). Light scattered foxing throughout. Publisher's blue cloth blocked in blind, gilt emblem on front covers, spines lettered gilt; expertly recased retaining original spines, hinges and endpapers, spines gently faded with minor losses to spine ends. FIRST EDITION. The account is based on the travels of Captain William Drummond Stewart, a Scottish nobleman, although it is believed that Webb himself wrote it. During the winter of 1836-1837, Stewart met the young American artist Alfred Jacob Miller whom he invited to accompany him to a fur trade rendezvous, a meeting held annually among traders, Native Americans, and Rocky Mountain trappers. Before reaching their destination at Horse Creek (near the present-day border of Colorado and Wyoming), they traveled northwest along the Kansas River to the Platte, passing such landmarks as Scott's Bluff and Chimney Rock. The rendezvous concluded, they headed for the Wind River range of the Rockies in Wyoming, where they spent time hunting before returning to St. Louis in the fall of 1837. The meeting resulted in the present account and in Miller's comprehensive paintings of trappers and Native Americans in the western U.S. fur trade.
