About this Item
Description:
326pp. including two portraits. Contemporary calf, rebacked, preserving original label. Light tanning and foxing. Very good. In a black morocco and cloth clamshell case. The so-called "Apocrypha edition" of Lewis and Clark, bearing the name of compiler William Fisher on the titlepage. In response to the growing curiosity of the public regarding the findings of Lewis and Clark, and the delay in publication of the "authorized account" of their expedition, this compilation of bits and pieces from already published works appeared (culled from Gass, Clark, Mackenzie, Carver, and Jefferson's MESSAGE. of 1806), misleading the reader into believing it was the account sanctioned by the government and containing all the information gathered during the journey. Howes calls this the "spurious" edition, while Sabin states it contains material not published in any other edition. HOWES F153a. WAGNER-CAMP 8:5. GRAFF 1331. PILLING PROOF-SHEETS 1298. SABIN 24508.
