"The Exploring Expedition to the Rocky Mountains," by Colonel John C. Fremont (Buffalo: Geo. H. Derby & Co. Publishers, 1849), 456 pp. The book has a leatherbound hardcover and the title, which was along the spine, is for the most part faded.

The book is a narrative of Fremont's expedition for the United States Government of the Rocky Mountains and the gold region, with detail to geographical descriptions. Some engravings and a map are included. With abrasions throughout the cover; brittleness along the spine; dented corners; soiling; fading of the lettering on the spine; flaking of the cover leather; pen markings on the inside; scratches on the cover; stains and foxing; tears on the cover; and heavy wear, the artifact is in fair condition.
