Page [664} is the publisher's catalogue .Contemporary boards with later linen spine and label; endpapers renewed, some offsetting present on map and plates, 2 leaves with closed tear.OCLC Number / Unique Identifier:4910831; Wright Howes, 317; Field 929; Howes L-317; Literature of Lewis & Clark 5A.2; Streeter 3128.The controversial Louisiana Purchase in 1803 - whereby the United States purchased the territory of Louisiana (comprising a stretch of land from today's Montana to Louisiana with Colorado to the West and Missouri to the East) from the French - nearly doubled the size of the country. 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. …

24,17-116pp. plus folding table. 8vo. The first London edition of the first official publication to provide any detailed account of the Lewis and Clark expedition, and the first work to give any satisfactory account of the southwestern portion of the Louisiana Purchase. "The first overseas publication on Lewis and Clark" (Literature of the Lewis and Clark Expedition). "President Jefferson's Message is the covering letter for a group of documents that report the recent explorations in Louisiana Territory. Although Lewis and Clark had not returned from the Pacific at the time, their earlier letter written from the upper Missouri on the eve of their departure to the Rockies contain significant data" (Wagner-Camp). The first section consists of material transmitted to Jefferson by Lewis, providing information about their route, Indians, trade, animals encountered, and geography. Equally important are the accounts of the southern explorations. Included are Dr. Sibley's letters to Gen. Henry Dearborn, which comprise the first account of Texas in book form, mentioning in particular various Texas tribes and the Red River country. "Though meager in information on Lewis and Clark, this was the first book giving any of their activities.The Sibley-Dunbar descriptions of the Texas-Louisiana frontier gave the first formal and satisfactory picture of the southern portion of the Louisiana Purchase" (Howes).

by Captains Lewis and Clark, Doctor Sibley, and Mr. Dunbar; with a Statistical Account of the Countries adjacent. As laid before the Senate, by the President of the United States in February, 1806. First UK edition. Folding table. 8vo. Recent quarter morocco over marbled boards, red morocco lable to spine, a.e.m., with soiling to title page and last page, very good otherwise. 116pp. London, Richard Phillips, Though the pagination and signatures appear unbroken, other copies from the same edition have two "C" signatures of four leaves each, one of which is not present here. The pagination of those copies runs 1-24, 17-116pp. This anomaly is not mentioned by Sabin.    The work opens with a two page letter by Thomas Jefferson, dated February 19, 1806, and essentially summarising the expedition: "captain Meriwether Lewis, of the first regiment of infantry, was appointed, with a party of men, to explore the river Missouri, from its mouth to its source, and, crossing the highlands by the shortest portage, to seek the best water communication thence to the Pacific ocean; and lieutenant Clarke was appointed second in command. They were to enter into conference with the Indian nations on their route, with a view to establish commerce with them."   This is followed by a letter from Lewis to Jefferson, dated April 17th, noting the number natural history specimens collected, that part of Clarke's journal is enclosed, "to give you the daily details of progress and transactions." Lewis states that he does not expect to compete the expedition by the end of the year, but that he should be back at Monticello by September 1806. The rest of the book includes "A Statistical View of the Indian Nations inhabiting the Territory of Louisiana", and "Historical Sketches of the several Indian Tribes in Louisiana, south of the Arkansas River."   Jefferson was a key sponsor of the expedition and had known Lewis for quite some time. Indeed, in 1801, Jefferson made Lewis his private secretary, saying the role was more in the manner of an aide-de-camp and Lewis was able to remain on the active army list as a captain. ANB clarifies Jefferson's role in the expedition: "Jefferson had long hoped that an exploring expedition could cross the American continent, and he involved Lewis in planning for this ambitious undertaking. Jefferson was interested in the possibility of a water route to the Pacific and in trade with the Indians, but he also had a scientific interest in the trans-Mississippi West. He thought that Lewis, a trusted old Virginia neighbor, had the qualities of leadership and the experience necessary to lead the expedition."   Howes states: "The Sibley-Dunbar descriptions of the Texas-Louisiana frontier gave the first formal and satisfactory picture of the southern portion of the Louisiana Purchase."   Howes, L319; Field, 926; Sabin, 40826.…
