About This Item
Albany: Joseph McDonough, 1903. Second Edition. 267pp. Quarto [24 cm] 1/2 tan cloth over gray boards with paper labels on the front board and backstrip. Gentle wear to boards with age toning to extremities. Internally nice. This edition was limited to 500 numbered copies, this copy out of series. The fold-out of Marquette's map present at the rear. "It has long been a desideratum to have in English the early narratives of the discovery and exploration of the Mississippi. Marquette's map and voyage have indeed appeared, but the narrative varies in no small degree from the authentic manuscript, and the map is not at all a copy of that still preserved, as it came from the hand of the great explorer. These published from original manuscripts, and accompanied by the narratives of the missionaries in La Salle's expedition, are now presented in an accessible shape, and complete the annals of the exploration." - from the Preface. Howes S357.
