The book was issued in 1987 with a limited printing of 450 of 199 pp. and color illustration by Duval (in Prospectus) and 13 original paintings by Charles Shaw reproduced in color. The book was issued as an accompaniment to the Book Club of California "Santa Fe Trail' (1931) with Duval's compelling narrative as the leader of the Texas Argonauts in their journey to the California Gold Rush in 1849. This prospectus would be a very nice addition to the book.
