Item description from seller

32 Seiten, moderner Ppbd., 20,5 x 14 cm. Französische Ausgabe des Berichts des Franko-Kanadiers Mathieu Sagean über eine Reise in die Gebiete westlich des Mississippi im ausgehenden 17. Jahrhundert. - "Sagean was a Frenchman, possessed of considerable zeal and ambition, to rival La Salle, but so ignorant as to be unable to write, and scarcely to read his own language. He had doubtless visited some nations of Indians, living on the eastern tributaries of the Mississippi, but he was looked upon as an impostor, when he asserted that he had found a nation of cannibals on the Missouri, whose country abounded in gold mines. The late discoveries in Nevada and New Mexico, give a greater air of probability to his story" (Indian Bibliography, 1873, 344). Sabin 18, 74898. - [= Shea's Jesuit Relations 18]. "Mr. John Gilmary [sic] Shea, of New York, to whom we owe these excellent contributions to our literature, has printed a series extending to twenty-three Relations. The edition of each work was limited to one hundred copies, which have been so sought after that it is very difficult to obtain a complete set. In Europe the estimation of the Relations, and of Mr. Shea's series of Indian Linguistics, is much greater than in this country" (Indian Bibliography, 1873, 33). - Sehr saubere Papierreparaturen im Steg; innen teils minimal fleckig; wohlerhaltenes Exemplar. --- Very neat, though unassuming new binding; some clean repairs to the center margins; some very minor foxing to the margings, otherwise excellent copy.
