(LOUISIANA PURCHASE.) Jefferson, Thomas. An Account of Louisiana, Being an Abstract of Documents. 50 pages. 8vo, stitched self-wrappers; foxed and browned; uncut. Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, Petersburg and Norfolk, "November 1803"

  • Notes: One of the first accounts of the Territory, assembled by Thomas Jefferson and containing much information from John Sibley. This edition apparently published without a folding table. "The circumstances of the preparation and circulation of this important, first official description of the newly acquired territory are obscure"--Wagner-Camp 2b:7; Howes L493 (incorrectly citing an 1800 edition); Sabin 42177.
