8vo., (8 4/8 x 5 2/8 inches). Engraved frontispiece of the Hudson River, and 2 engraved plates (first page of text torn, spotted and browned throughout). Disbound; preserved in modern brown cloth slipcase and chemise. Lewis and Clark's letter is to Charles Chaboiller of the North West Company, providing information about their arrival at the Mandan Village on 26 October 1804. There they met Hugh M'Crachen of the North West Company who was employed to traffic with the natives. They write that they "have been commissioned and sent by the government of the United States for the purpose of exploring the river Missouri, and the western parts of the continent of North America, with a view to the promotion of general science. Your government have been advised of this voyage and its objects.The cold season having now nearly arrived, we have determined to fortify ourselves.During our residence here, or future progress of our voyage, we calculate that the injunctions contained in the passport before mentioned will, with respect to ourselves, govern the conduct of such of his Brittanic Majesty's subjects, as may be within communicative reach of us.We shall, at all times, extend our protection as well to British subjects as American citizens, who may visit the Indians of our neighbourhood, provided they are well-disposed.[we do this] as from a conviction that it is consonant with the liberal policy of our government." Over the long winter at Fort Mandan, near the mouth of the Knife River in present North Dakota, Lewis and Clark made copious notes in their journals and spoke with Indian leaders. This is an early appearance in print from Lewis and Clark's expedition; their 'Travels.' was not published until 1814.

12mo (7 1/8 x 4 5/8 inches): dual wood-engraved frontispiece portraits of Lewis and Clark (a bit spotted). Bound in library binding (browned and spotted throughout). PROVENANCE: contemporary pen trials to frontispiece. First edition. So-called "apocryphal edition" of Lewis and Clark, bearing the name of compiler William Fisher on the title page. According to Paltsits, "In most copies the second title page is lacking," as here. "Another surreptitious account, allegedly written by William Fisher, Esquire, was published by James Sharan and printed in Philadelphia by James Mawell in 1812. It sold for $1.25. The title, 'New Travels Among the Indians of North America; Being a Compilation, Taken Partly from the Communications Already Published, of Captains Lewis and Clark,' admitted that the book was a compilation and was 'taken partly from other authors.' The contents included the one paragraph 'Recommendation' of Thomas Jefferson and an 'Introduction' that was a paraphrase of that in the surreptitious volumes published in 1809 in Philadelphia and London. Fisher wrote with the same gratuitous but hollow language of Hubbard Lester: 'The advantages, that arise from the discoveries of unknown regions, are too numerous to be mentioned,' he noted. 'They arise one after another in continual succession. Geography, Civilization, Humanity, and the Arts and Sciences, received aid from them.' The 'New Travels' included Clark's letter from Fort Mandan of April 2, 1805; Clark's letter from St. Louis of September 23, 1806; data on the tribes that was identified as taken from the pen of Alexander Mackenzie; the 'Statistical View'; and the irrelevant fillers about Master Neddy and George Washington. The volume was little more than a reprint of the book of Hubbard Lester with a new author and a more honest title.William Fisher and Hubbard Lester were probably the convenient pseudonyms of a wily publisher" (Beckham, pp. 125-126).

First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. 8vo. pp. 24, 17-116. folding table. modern half morocco. First London Edition of the earliest publication to give any account of the Lewis and Clark expedition, the most important western American exploration ever undertaken. Although the account is brief it precedes the publication of the official journal by a full seven years. "The Sibley-Dunbar descriptions of the Texas-Louisiana frontier gave the first formal and satisfactory picture of the southern portion of the Louisiana Purchase." (Howes) The driving force behind the appointment of the Lewis and Clark expedition was Thomas Jefferson, who urged Congress that it was of crucial importance to develop American trade with the Indians of the Missouri Valley and to strengthen the American presence in the western frontier. Preparations for the expedition were conducted in secrecy until the Louisiana Territory was sold to the United States by France in December 1803. Setting out in May of the following year, Lewis and Clark traveled up the Missouri River, wintered among the Mandans in North Dakota, and pushed westward overland, arriving at the mouth of the Columbia River on the north-west coast on November 20, 1805.

Copley on the front paste-down of each volume, his sale Sotheby's 15th October 2010 lot 731. Second Carey, third American, and second illustrated edition. Mathew Carey issued two editions in 1810 after acquiring the copyright from David McKeehan. First published in 1807. The first full published account of the Corps of Discovery by a member of the expedition, Patrick Gass, who "became one of the best-known members of the expedition for several reasons: his key role as sergeant brought his name up frequently in the journals of Lewis and Clark; his account was the first to be published; he was the first to have a biography written about him; and finally, he outlived the other members of the Corps of Discovery by decades" (Wagner-Camp-Becker 6:1). "Although [Gass's Journal] lacked the insight, reflection, and depth of geographic, ethnographic, diplomatic, and scientific observations penned by Lewis and Clark, it and Jefferson's Message from the President were the only accounts available for seven years to describe the expedition's adventures" (Beckham, p. 89). "Sergeant Patrick Gass outlived every person who served on the Lewis and Clark expedition whose fate is known. Having lived so long, Gass is one of the best known of the expedition's enlisted men and has had more written about him than any other man in the Corps of Discovery, except for the two captains" (DANB).

Bound in contemporary American mottled sheep, the smooth spine gilt-ruled in six compartments, with red morocco lettering-piece in the second (hinges weak, extremities a bit rubbed, head of spine worn with minor loss). Provenance: With the contemporary ownership inscription of William Cook dated 1809 on the verso of the second blank. First edition of an early piece of Lewis and Clark "Apocrypha". Little more than a compilation and rehashing of Jefferson's "Message from the President" of 1806, letters written by William Clark, Patrick Gass's "Journal." published in 1807, and plagiarized portions of Jonathan Carver's "Travels Through the Interior Parts of North America." of 1778 and Alexander Mackenzie's "Voyages from Montreal", 1801. The only original contribution in this work if the engraved folding map: "the earliest published map with legends stemming from Lewis and Clark. Here were the earliest published cartographic reflections of Lewis and Clark's great effort, and this fact alone distinguishes this small map, which otherwise harks back to earlier days" (Wheat). Among the new features on the map is the presence of "F. Clatsop" at the mouth of the Columbia River. REFERENCES: Howes L-321; Streeter sale V:3122; Wagner-Camp 8:1; Wheat Transmississippi 294. Book.

Weckerly (signature dated 1838 on both titles) The first edition of the "definitive account of the most important exploration of the North American continent" (Wagner-Camp). A cornerstone of Western Americana. The book describes the Government-backed expedition to explore the newly acquired Louisiana Purchase undertaken from 1804 to 1806 by ascending the Missouri to its source, crossing the Rocky Mountains, and reaching the Pacific Ocean. In total, the expedition covered some eight thousand miles in slightly more than twenty-eight months. Lewis and Clark brought back the first reliable information about much of the area they traversed, made contact with the Indian inhabitants as a prelude to the expansion of the fur trade, and advanced by a quantum leap the geographical knowledge of the continent. This official account of the expedition is as much a landmark in Americana as the trip itself. The narrative has been reprinted many times and remains a perennial American bestseller. The observations in the text make it an essential work of American natural history, ethnography and science. It is the first great U.S. government expedition, the first book on the Rocky Mountain West, and a host of other firsts. It is among the most famous American books.

Large folding map in FACSIMILE. Wagner calls this "The definitive account of the most important exploration of the North American continent." Alfred C. Berol declares: "Subsequent to the discovery of American itself, the Lewis and Clark Expedition is the most important event in American history". An account of the first overland expedition to the Pacific coast and back, Lewis and Clark is the most famous of all western travels, and the cornerstone of any collection of Western Americana. An expedition to the Pacific was conceived by President Thomas Jefferson?s father, Peter, and was a life long ambition of Thomas. As President he was finally able to set the trip in motion. Jefferson always considered it to be a scientific and geographical expedition, but he sold it to Congress as a way to establish trading ties with the Indians of the western regions. The expedition covered some 8,000 miles in 28 months, following the Missouri River from its juncture with the Mississippi to its source and, crossing the Continental Divide, explored the Columbia River from the Rocky Mountains to the Pacific Ocean. Lewis and Clark always intended to publish their journals immediately upon their return - Lewis issued a prospectus for the work - but publication was delayed, initially by Lewis's new duties as Governor of the Louisiana Territory, and Clark's preoccupation as Superintendent of Indian Affairs. After Lewis' suicide in 1809, Clark hired Nicholas Biddle to actually write the book, but when Biddle was elected to Pennsylvania State Senate in 1812, he left the proof reading to Paul Allen, who put his name on the title page. Original full calf binding with gilt lettered black labels, professionally restored with new hinges and heads and tails of spine. Large folding map in facsimile.
