Three text volumes plus atlas, totaling 1,364pp. Facsimiles, plates, and maps (some folding). Original green cloth, spine lettered in gilt. Inner hinges on each text volume cracked, cloth a bit worn at extremities. Internally clean and very good. One of 800 sets on "fine book paper" from an edition limited to 1,000 sets. The first "modern" edited scholarly edition of the Lewis and Clark account and manuscripts, reprinting the official text of 1814, but with extensive notes by Coues based on his examination of the surviving manuscripts and maps of the expedition. This was also the first of a series of landmark publications by Harper on western exploration, and the first editing project of the prolific Elliot Coues. "[Coues'] edition of 1893 ranks second in importance only to the original journals. His lengthy annotations, based on first-hand knowledge of the territory, are highly informative, and his bibliographical essay is a major contribution" - Wagner-Camp. A landmark work in the history of western historiography, ushering in modern scholarship the same year as the Turner thesis. HOWES L317. GRAFF 2484. WAGNER-CAMP 13:7 (note).

Meriwether Lewis (1774-1809) and William Clark (1770-1838), both captains in the army (Clark in the Illinois militia; Lewis was Thomas Jefferson's private secretary), were commissioned by Jefferson to co-command the Corps of Discovery, a unit whose mission was the exploration of the newly purchased Louisiana Territory, with an ultimate view to reaching to the Pacific. In addition to their military corps, they were accompanied by civilians including Sacajawea, who served as an interpreter more often than as a guide, but also, crucially, "a token of peace" as "a woman with a party of men." Elliot Coues (1842-1899), himself a surgeon in the army and a natural historian, produced the "most scholarly" (Howes) of all editions of Lewis and Clark's accounts, drawn from the autograph manuscripts themselves. After this edition he would go on to produce scholarly editions of other American pioneers: Zebulon Pike, Alexander Henry et al.
