NMLP P-043456 — Down the Santa Fe Trail and Into Mexico

Susan Shelby Magoffin (edited by Stella M. Drumm) · Yale University Press (New Haven) · 1926

The diary was kept in 1846-47 but remained unpublished until Drumm, a librarian at the Missouri Historical Society, located it in the 1920s and persuaded Magoffin's daughter to release it. Yale University Press, New Haven, 1926 is therefore the FIRST PUBLICATION and the only edition with first-edition standing — the census claim is correct. US-only; no UK issue and no original-language question. Contemporary corroboration: the edition was reviewed in the Hispanic American Historical Review vol. 8 (1928).
