WEST OF FORT BRIDGER is revised and updated by Will Bailey and Harold Schindler, from Korns and Morgan's original work issued as Vol.XIX of the Utah Historical Quarterly, which is now very scarce. In the book, the words of the immigrants, compiled from original diaries, journals, maps, and letters, recount a half-decade of historic pioneer treks, including the dramatic ordeals of the 1816 parties who crossed the infamous Hastings Cutoff. With these texts woven together by expansive and detailed introductions and annotation, Dale Morgan and Roderic Korns tell the story of a critical period in westward migration. Includes the actual journals of James Clyman, Edwin Bryant, Heinrich Lienhard, and James F. Reed. Signed by Bailey and Schindler. TRAILING THE PIONEERS was issued in conjunction with Utah Crossroads, Oregon-California Trails Association, and is signed by all 7 contributors. Both volumes are issued as a boxed set in a matching cloth slipcase and limited to 300 numbered and signed copies, of which this is #202. As New condition.
