(LEWIS & CLARK.) The Journal of Lewis and Clarke, to the Mouth of the Columbia River Beyond the Rocky Mountains. 2 frontispiece portraits, 14 full-page illustrations. 8vo, contemporary sheep, poorly rebacked; hinges cracked; foxing, 4 leaves of the Indian Dictionary defective in the bottom margin with minor loss to text. Dayton, 1840

  • Notes: 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).
