Description

The Emigrants' Guide to California was originally published in 1849 to help emigrants who were planning to go west. Joseph E. Ware felt there were cheaper and quicker ways to get there than by around the Horn or through the Isthmus of Panama. He complied information including cost estimates, supplies needed, how to form a camp, information about various known landmarks, and maps. 64/Hardbound/Illustrations/Maps/Tables
