Hardcover. 12mo. pp. xvi, vi, [1]blank, [9]-282. modern library cloth (some foxing, paper embrowned, library perforation stamp & other markings on 1st 2 leaves). Third or Fourth American Edition, after the first of 1784, of "a classic in the history of the exploration of the Great Lakes and upper Mississippi regions." "Carver s Travels was one of the most popular early books on the Middle West, and has appeared in thirty-two recorded editions and issues. The author was a native of Weymouth, Massachusetts, and with a commission from Major Robert Rogers set out on his travels in 1766." (Bell) "He went west by the route of the Great Lakes, crossed to the Mississippi by the Green-Bay-Fox-Wisconsin route, ascended the great river and entered the St. Peter s (now the Minnesota). He reached Lake Superior by the Chippewa and St. Croix rivers, and finally returned in the autumn of 1767 to Mackinac." (DAB) The work contains one of the earliest descriptions of what is now known as Minnesota and Wisconsin and the name 'Oregon' appears in print here for the first time. Evans 24181. Howes C-215.

Octavo (8 3/4" x 5 1/4") bound in full leather with five raised spine bands and black label lettered in gilt. (Howes, C215; Field, 251; Sabin, 11184; Vail, 670) Third edition second issue, according to Howes, with the index. Jonathan Carver, early explorer of North America and author of one of the most widely read travel and adventure books in that period. Carver was promoted to lieutenant (1759) and then to captain (1760) while serving in a Massachusetts regiment during the French and Indian War. In 1766 he was sent by Major Robert Rogers on a journey of exploration westward from Rogers base at Fort Michilimackinac (now Mackinac, Mich.). Carver traveled west through the Great Lakes region to the Mississippi River and then up that river to the country of the Sioux Indians. Alone, he spent the winter of 1766 67 at a Sioux village on the Minnesota River. Returning to Fort Michilimackinac in the spring, he met Captain James Tute in command of a party that had been sent out by Rogers to explore a route to the Pacific Ocean. Tute brought orders for Carver to join the party as draftsman and third in command. They proceeded up the Mississippi and skirted the shores of Lake Superior to the Grand Portage. Failing to receive supplies, the party abandoned the expedition and returned to Fort Michilimackinac (August 1768). Condition: Book plate to front paste down. Some internal soiling, corners bumped, light edge wear, spine gilt dulled else very good.

[12] [1]-22 [16] [i]-xvii 18-543 [21]. 604 pp. 8 plates including a mezzotint frontispiece portrait of Carver, 2 hand-colored folding maps, and five folding plates, four of which are hand-colored and include depictions of a tobacco plant and a peace pipe. Frontis, Title, Advertisement, Dedication, Address to the Public, Account of Captain J. Carver, Contents, Introduction, Journal of the Travels, Appendix, Directions for Placing Maps, Index. Half mottled morocco with blind roll-tooling over red and blue marbled-paper boards, spine ruled in gilt in six compartments with red calf lettering-piece in second compartment and gilt foliate printer's device in rest "Third and best edition" of Carver's travels into the American West; containing the first published mention of Oregon. [Sabin] A classic American travelogue, here in the third and best edition, with expanded text, an added biographical sketch of the author, an index, and the additional plate of the tobacco plant not found in the first two editions, which is especially well-colored. Carver traveled farther west than any Englishman before the American Revolution, going as far as the Dakotas, exploring the headwaters of the Mississippi, and passing over the Great Lakes. [Howes] His text and one of his two maps are the first published mentions of "Oregon." Carver discourses on natural history and comments on the Native Americans he encounters on his travels. "His positive portrayal of their manners and customs helped dispel the eighteenth-century image of Indians as savages. In some cases Carver's is the earliest description published of the Sioux and Chippewa groups he encountered." [Davis] Carver's work served as an important source book and stimulus for later explorers, especially Mackenzie and Lewis and Clark, but also more broadly rose the public's curiosity in routes to the Pacific. Carver, born in Massachusetts, was an explorer, cartographer, and author, who was one of the first white men to explore and map areas of Minnesota and Wisconsin, including what would later be named Carver County in Minnesota. He served in the Colonial militia during the French and Indian War and, while enlisted, mastered surveying and mapmaking. In 1763, he left the army to explore new territories, and in 1766, Robert Rogers appointed Carver to lead an expedition to find a route to the Pacific Ocean and East Indies. He kept a detailed account of this expedition to discover a Northwest Passage to the Pacific Ocean. After failing to find money to publish his journal, and in pursuit of a claim for compensation from the British Government for the work he put into the Northwest Passage expedition, Carver traveled to London and had the present work published. Carver's book was an immediate success when first published in 1778, and a second London edition followed the next year. It was an important book in the history of the exploration of the American West as Carver was the first English-speaking explorer to venture west of the upper Mississippi River. He anticipated the idea of a continental divide as he was the first to mention a large mountain range to the west (The Rockies) that blocks the westward passage. Carver's friend, the well-known Quaker physician and author Dr. John Coakley Lettsom, explains his involvement in the present third edition on a single-page advertisement leaf at the front of the book: "Few works have had a more rapid sale. Two large editions having been disposed of in two years. This induced the proprietors to print a third: but, as soon as this impression was finished, I purchased both the printed copies and the copyright. I have since added to the work, some Account of the Author's life, and an Index to the Travels, which are published separately, for the convenience of the purchasers of the first and second editions."
