Jacket very lightly rubbed. Now in clear cover. "In the last six years Thomas H. Hunt and Robert V.H. Adams have traveled thousands of miles - much of the distance with packs on their backs - following historic trails from the west slope of the Rockies to the gold country of California. They studied diaries of the emigrants and revisited the exact locations described in these 125-year-old journals. Hunt and Adams photographed and mapped the nine most important emigrant trails to California. The history-minded reader is provided detailed information, pictures, and maps. Present-day hikers using detailed maps developed by the author can retrace step by step the original routes. For the arm-chair adventurer this book presents an array of beautiful, descriptive photographs - more than 140 of them in full color - taken along the trail and complimented with quotations from old journals and diaries, written by men and women who observed these scenes well over a hundred years ago." $35.00USD
