Barton H. Barbour
Memorandum book of James. R. Larkin of St. Louis, Missouri, published in cooperation with the Historical Society of New Mexico. Edited and annotated by Barton H. Barbour. This book presents a rare "health-seekers" diary on the Santa Fe Trail in the 1850s. Larkin visited New Mexico at a time of intensive transition, and witnessed several significant events on the trail and in early Anglo-occupied New Mexico. Few such diaries exist, and Larkin's in one of the earliest and most robust health-seeker diaries known.
