One of the best accounts of an overland journey across the plains and perhaps the best account of the founding of Denver and of life for the first few years that we have." TWS. Graff 2400, Howes L102, "Larimer was among the earliest Pike's Peak adventurers, and one of the founders of Denver." Rittenhouse 354, "Larimer went over the Santa Fe Trail in 1858 to bent's Fort. He knew Alexander Majors and other prominent figures. Some data on mail lines. The work was printed for private distribution.".
