8vo. 22 cm, 58p., ten text maps including frontis, rear publisher's ads, decorated endpapers, dark green cloth, black titles, internal library markings, edges rubbed, very good. (Amp). Lake Itasca is a small glacial lake, approximately 1.8 square miles in area. Located in southeastern Clearwater County, in the Headwaters area of north central Minnesota, it is notable for being the headwater of the Mississippi River. ~ "I have taken far greater pleasure in collecting under one cover the few facts relative to the source of the great river since the white man first sighted Lake Itasca , than in any pillorying of Captain Glazier, however effective that may seem to be." (Author's Note).
