CLARKE, Asa B. (1817-1882). Travels in Mexico and California: Comprising a Journal of a Tour from Brazos Santiago, through Central Mexico, by way of Monterey, Chihuahua, the country of the Apaches, and the River Gila, to the Mining Districts of California . Boston: Wright & Hasty's Steam Press, 1852. 8 o (190 x 114 mm). Original printed wrappers; red cloth folding case. FIRST EDITION of this account by a member of the Hampden Mining Company of his trip to Los Angeles via Mexico in late 1849.
