Additional Details



A scarce later version of the "counterfeit" edition, with crude woodcuts found repeated in an 1847 edition of Gass's Journal by the same publisher. Nevertheless, this is the first book-length version of Lewis and Clark's journal published west of the Appalachians. The Literature of the Lewis and Clark Expedition 4c.4; Wagner-Camp 8:8; Howes L321 (incorrectly calling for 3 plates).
