This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1904 edition. Excerpt: ... PREFACE. BY THE PUBLISHER OF THE FIRST EDITION. OF the various publications which unite amusement and information, few can be justly held in higher estimation than the Journals and Narratives of Travellers and Voyagers; and in our own highly favored country, the diffusion of general knowledge, the enterprizing spirit of the people, their commercial pursuits and habits of emigration, render such works particularly valuable and interesting; while the vigorous and unrestrained mind of the free American, by amplifying and embellishing the scenes presented to his view, enjoys the choicest luxuries of the entertainment they are calculated to afford. If it is conceded that discoveries made in North America are more important to the people of the United States than those made elsewhere, it will not be difficult to show that none could have been made of so much importance to them in any part of the world as in the large tracts of country through which the late expedition, under the command of captain Lewis and captain Clark, passed. For if we take a view of the different discoveries and settlements previously made, we will find that those tracts through which the Missouri and Columbia rivers, and their branches flow, xlviii Preface to tbe First Edition commonly called unknown regions, were the only parts remaining unexplored, which could be considered valuable.

Seller's Description:
Like New. Limited printing of 500. Reprint of the 1904 edition. Hardcover. Green cloth, Octavo. 298pp. Good binding and cover. Light edge wear. Clean, unmarked pages. Aside from Lewis & Clark and Sacajawea, Patrick Gass is better known than any other member of the Corps of Discovery. There are several reasons for this. By virtue of his being sergeant during the expedition, his name crops up with greater frequency in the journals of Lewis & Clark than that of most others. He was the first of the journalists to publish his account, so that he early came to the attention of readers. He was the first member of the party to have a biography written about him. And, in the matter of longevity, he far outstripped all others. Our edition is reprint of the 1904 publication by A.C. McClurg & Co. The edition was under the editorship of James K. Hosmer. The new 1904 is a reprint of 1811 edition but adds an introduction and index by Hosmer. The original 1904 edition of Gass's Journal has become collectible in its own right.
