The cost of the transaction was $15,000,000, around $18 per square mile. Control of the entire area was taken over by the United States, including large areas of the country which was inhabited - and managed - by Native Americans, who had never themselves ceded the land. Following the Purchase, President Thomas Jefferson commissioned an expedition to explore the territory and report back in as much detail as possible. A primary aim was to find a new travel route across the country, ensuring an American presence in the area before other colonial powers took advantage of the area and tried to establish their own footholds. The Lewis and Clark Expedition - alternatively known as the Corps of Discovery Expedition - set out from Camp Dubois on the 14th May 1804, crossing the Continental Divide, eventually reaching St. Louis, Missouri, in 1806. They were famously assisted in interpretation and interactions with local tribes by Sacagawea, a Lemni Shoshone woman who accompanied the expedition.The Lewis and Clark Expedition introduced the United States government to various Native American tribes and how trade with them could be promoted, alongside advising on the viability of the path they followed. Various botanical and zoological specimens were returned to the East Coast, including corn, or maize, grown by Thomas Jefferson at Monticello. It took nearly 10 years for Lewis and Clark to publish their journals, first in Philadelphia in octavo format in 1814 as History of the Expedition under the Command of Captain Lewis and Clark, to the Sources of the Missouri, thence across the Rocky Mountains and down the River Colombia to the Pacific Ocean. Here we find the first British edition, including Neele's highly important folding map, showing the expedition route.

The contents, with a little toning and light spotting to the preliminary pages and a water mark to the foot of the frontispiece of the second volume, are otherwise in very good order and clean throughout. A most attractive set. Inscribed by Captain J. Clark Kennedy in black ink on the front endpaper of the first volume "To Sir Thomas Reade C.B. / with the grateful / remembrances and kindest / regards of / The Author & his Companion / June 15th 1846." Captain John Clark Kennedy (1817-1867), the son of the noted Waterloo veteran Sir Alexander Clark Kennedy, began his military career in the 7th Dragoon Guards, later exchanging to the 18th Royal Irish Foot, with which he served during the China expedition of 1842, the second Sikh war and the Crimean War, where he commanded troops at the siege of Sebastopol. The present work provides an account of his travels through Northern Africa undertaken during a period of leave. Choosing to avoid "political discussions", he instead focuses on everyday life and the character of the Maghrebi Arabs: "Some of the details may possibly be deemed trivial; but it is often in the petty occurrences of everyday life that the character of a people may be studied to greater advantage than in the more serious events where the fiercer passions play their part" (p.vi). The recipient of the present copy, Sir Thomas Reade (1782-1849), was a fellow army officer who participated in campaigns in Holland, Egypt and America, as well as a scholar and antiquarian, who collected a range of artefacts, many of which are now held in the British Museum. In May 1836 Reade became consul general in Tunis, remaining in the post until his death in 1849. A splendid association copy in a sumptuous contemporary binding, additionally enhanced by two early fore-edge paintings.
