Description
Randolph Marcy was one of the great unsung explorers of the American Western frontiers in the 19th century. He escorted emigrants, and led numerous exploring and surveying expeditions. As a result of the writing ability he evidenced in his official reports of his frontier explorations, he was asked by the War Department to prepare this guidebook for emigrants to the west. It was published in 1959.
