With frontispiece portrait with autograph signature in facsimile, facsimile page of manuscript. 12mo, in the original maroon cloth, the upper cover with Lakeside Press emblem in gilt within gilt boarder, spine gilt ruled and lettered, t.e.g. xxxviii, 192 pp. A fine copy, internally pristine, spotless and appearing completely unused, the binding strong with firm hinges, the cloth clean and bright and near as new.

Edizione: the autobiography of one of the most famous frontiersmen of the american west. this special lakeside press edition is considered the "polished" version of the memoir, which was originally published with little fanfare in 1926 after being rediscovered in the estate of the son of a u.s. army surgeon who had co-written a biography of carson back in 1858. all published forms of carson's own writings of his own story prior to this lakeside press edition are of extreme scarcity.
