A propos de cet article

Leather bound, 300 pgs. Remainder of title: "Being upwards of three thousand miles from St. Louis by way of the Missouri and Columbia rivers to the Pacifick Ocean: containing an account of the Indian Tribes, who inhabit the Western part of the continent unexplored and unknown before, with copious delineations of the manners, customs, Religion &c. of the Indians completed from various sources and documents. To which is subjoined a summary of the statistical view of the Indian nations from the official communication of Meriwether Lewis. Embellished with a map of the Country inhabited by the Western tribes of Indians and five Engravings of Indians and five Engravings of Indian Chiefs." According to the Kansas City Library online resource about the Lewis and Clark expedition, this volume was part of the apocrypha, first published by Hubbard Lester in 1809. According to the website at Lewis and Clark College: "In 1809 an adventurous entrepreneur, Hubbard Lester, compiled the 'Travels of Lewis and Clark. ' Taking information from Jefferson's Report to Congress, Patrick Gass's journal, Alexander Mackenzie's Voyages, and Jonathan Carver's Adventures, Lester compiled what is known as the Lewis and Clark 'Apocrypha, ' a series of allegedly accurate volumes. Lester's book was published in Philadelphia and then in London with a map the same year. Later in 1811, 1812, and 1813 the rights to this book were aquired by William Fisher. Though inaccurate and misleading, the apocryphal works whetted the public appetite for information about the Lewis and Clark Expedition." Book contains one engraving of a Serpentine Chief between pages 204 and 205 but none other, evidently missing. Leather boards worn, both covers separated, loose pages, split in middle of spine, spine worn, foxing and some penciling. Name of John Babb on ffep and bfep. First Edition of the apocrypha. A very rare volume, part of Early Americana. Supporting documentation included.…
