A propos de cet article

Edition : First English Edition, Contemporary half calf with marbled boards. Spine with gilt ruling and labels with gilt titles. , The chief source of information on Stephen H. Long?s second expedition to survey the headwaters of the Mississippi River. Keating was a professor of chemistry and mining, and was chosen as the historian and geologist of the expedition. Field discusses the work as ?almost a cyclopedia of material, relating to the Indians of the explored territory. Nothing escaped the attention the gentlemen who accompanied the expedition; and their statements regarding the customs, character, and numbers of the Sioux and Chippeway tribes, are among the most valuable we have of those people? As a matter of fact, the work includes vocabularies of many Native tribes. The outstanding plates, from drawings of Samuel Seymour, were engraved by Hill. They depict scenes and Native Americans of the upper Mississippi. The map shows the Great Lakes, the Red River of the North, and the headwaters of the Mississippi, with the river?s beginnings and the complex hydrography of Wisconsin, Minnesota, and the border area depicted in much finer detail than ever previously shown. Thomas Say, the famous naturalist, made all the Botanical collections on this expedition. , Size : 8vo (211x128mm). , Illustrated with frontis, folding map, and three plates in volume 1; two hand coloured plates, two plates, and three fold-out calenders in volume 2. , Volume : Two Volumes, References : Field 949, Graff 2280, Howes K20, Pilling 2066, Sabin 37137. , P.
