From the Colton Storm catalogue: "First edition of the Pike's Peak Gold Mines guide book. The work was published in December of 1858 and a second edition was to be ready in February of the next year. The Library of Congress copy (which is in printed blue wrappers) is the only other copy known to date. The Wagner-Camp collation is in error. Hafen reprinted the fuller, second, edition."
