Portland, Oregon: Lewis & Clark College, 2003.
First Edition. Hardcover.
Signed by all three bibliographers on the half-title.
A bibliography of Lewis and Clark Expedition publications based on the collection of expedition materials at the Aubrey Watzek Library of Lewis & Clark College. The volume is divided into seven sections: the expedition’s traveling library of scientific, technical, and cartographic materials (1754-1804); related congressional documents and early notices (1803-1807); editions of Patrick Gass’s journal (1807-1904); surreptitious accounts (1809-1846); The Biddle-Allen narrative of the expedition (1814-2001); 19th-century publications (1803-1905); and 20th-century publications (1906-2001).
In each section, introductory historical essays survey the large cast of characters who have contributed to the expedition story since the last years of the 18th century: legislators, scientists, explorers, journal writers, editors, publishers, printers, illustrators, cartographers, and collectors. The bibliographies for each section list all known publications related to the expedition, with full annotated descriptions of primary texts.
