Boards (HB) in very good condition with light soiling to covers and foxing to upper page edges. Friedrich Adolph Wislizenus (first name sometimes spelled Frederick) was a German-born American MD, explorer and botanist. Accompanying one of the expeditions of the Rocky Mountain Fur Company, he traveled far into the northwest, towards the source of Green River in the Wind River Mountains. When the trappers turned back home, Wislizenus joined a band of Flathead and Nez Perce Indians with whom he crossed the Rocky Mountains. He ventured back along the banks of Arkansas River to the border of Missouri. 168 pages with index and fold out map.
