THE EXPEDITION of LEWIS AND CLARK
Reprinted from the Edition of 1814
With an Introduction and Index By JAMES K. HOSMER, LL.D.
Notwithstanding that in America few names are more familiar upon thetongue than those of Lewis and Clark, it is a singular fact that theJournals of their expedition have for a long time been practicallyunattainable. The lack thus existing, felt now more and more as thecentenary of the great exploration draws near, this new edition hasbeen planned to fill. The text used is that of the 1814 edition, whichmust hold its place as the only account approaching adequacy.
Dr. Hosmer, well-known for his work in Western history, has furnishedan Introduction, giving the events which led up to the greatexpedition and showing the vast development that has flowed from it,in a way to make plain the profound significance of the achievement.There has also been added an elaborate analytic Index, a feature whichthe original edition lacked.
The publishers offer this work in the belief that it will fill allrequirements and become the standard popular edition of this greatAmerican classic.
_In two square octavo volumes, printed from new type of a large clear face, with new photogravure portraits and fac-simile maps._
In box, $5.00 net; delivered, $5.36.
