About this Item
First Edition. #83 of a Numbered Edition limited to 365 copies. Boards with cloth spine, 190pp. + 2pp. advertisements. Illustrations, facsimiles, large folding map. Introduction and editing by Stella Drumm. Appendix. Extensive bibliography. Index. An interesting and important early fur-trade journal. Luttig records much detail of people and events, including the famous, and heavily-debated record from December 20, 1812, "This evening the wife of Charbonneau a Snake Squaw died of putrid fever. She was a good and the best women in the fort, aged about 25 years she left a fine infant girl." Is this a record of the death of Sacajawea? or, did Charbonneau have another wife, and Sacajawea lived to be an old woman? Stella Drumm performed an outstanding job of editing. Her extensive research and footnotes add substantially to the historical value of Luttig's journal. "Important account, by a clerk of the Missouri Fur Company, of one of Manuel Lisa's earliest expeditions."---Wright Howes. A fine, bright copy of this important work. Signed presentation from Editor, Stella Drumm to Dr. Ralph P. Bieber, author and initial editor for Arthur H. Clark's Southwest Historical Series. Protected in matching custom slipcase.
