Sylvester Pattie and his son, James Ohio, joined Bernard Pratte's trading expedition to Santa Fe. They first ventured to the Pawnee villages of the Platte. The narrative includes their encounters with Comanches, grizzly bears, across what is now Kansas and into the Taos valley in New Mexico. They trapped the Gila River and visited the copper mines of Santa Rita, being the first Americans in the upper Gila valley. From there they trapped up the Colorado across South Pass, thence back toward northern Mexico and Texas. Pattie visited the missions of California during the Mexican regime, finally returning to Cincinnati, penniless, having endured incarceration at the hands of the Mexicans.
Actual first editor of James O. Pattie's narrative is Timothy Flint. Also included are narratives by Doctor Willard and his "Inland Trade with New Mexico" and "Downfall of the Fredonian Republic" also edited by Timothy Flint. The last chapter is about "Mexico--Some Account of its Inhabitants, Towns, Productions, and Natural Curiosities" under the name of Conrad Malte-Brun.
