Manuscript of Douglas S. Watson's biography of mountain man and scout Joseph Reddeford Walker (1798-1876), who helped blaze the California Trail. The biography traces Walker's early life in the southeast, his frequent travels throughout the Midwestern and Western United States (many of them with Captain Benjamin Bonneville), his participation in buffalo hunts and fur trapping, his expedition to California in 1833, his interactions and confrontations with California Indians, and his later trips to and settlement in California from the 1840s-1870s. Inscribed by P.H. Booth. Bound.
