Publication: A C McClurg & Co, 1914, Chicago

First edition. 8vo. Reddish brown cloth, xv [blank], 669 pp., frontispiece, preface, illustrated by more than one hundred half-tones, mostly from old and rare sources, portraits, appendix, notes, index. Thoroughly researched, classic biography of this legendary figure of the early West. "Sabin's biography of Carson, which remains the pioneer scholarly work upon which all later works have been based." The definitive story..."--Camille E. Cazedessus III. The first edition of this book is uncommon. The front and rear endpapers have been replaced, signatures have been resewn, ink on spine panel is dull, but readable, light wear to spine ends and corners, else a sound, tight copy of an important work in very good condition. Recommended.
