A Cartographic Milestone.The Foundational Map of the American West.The Single Most Important American Exploration and Discovery Map of the 19th Century.A very nice example of the 1817 London octavo edition of Lewis & Clark's official account, complete with the large and important map of the Northwestern United States, based upon William Clark's original manuscript map of the expedition.Lewis & Clark's map and the written account of the expedition changed American mapping of the northwest by giving the first accurate depiction of the relationship of the sources of the Missouri, the sources of the Columbia, and the Rocky Mountains.Lewis & Clark's official account of the expedition is a cornerstone of any collection of Western Americana. The map, which is intended to illustrate the sum total of the expedition, is perhaps the single most important American exploration and discovery map of the 19th Century. Carl Wheat states:As for showing the route of the explorers themselves, too much [about the map] cannot be said. This is the way across North America, and the way is made plain for all to see. At last the youthful United States had been heard from, in a tour de force. The fact that many years would pass before any men of the new nation other than Lewis and Clark (and the Astorians) would appear to add force to their country's claim to the land that lay westward made it all the more impressive that the young captains had successfully crossed to the waters of the Pacific.This 1814 map was the progenitor of many later maps and one of the most influential ever drawn. . . . [it is] a map of towering significance . . . a milestone of mapping in its time, and countless placenames it gave to the face of America remain today as an ineradicable cultural heritage.Lewis & Clark's work is without question the most famous of all western travel narratives, describing the expedition to explore the newly acquired Louisiana Purchase, undertaken from 1804 to 1806 by ascending the Missouri River to its source, crossing the Rocky Mountains, and reaching the Pacific Ocean. In total, the expedition covered some eight thousand miles in slightly more than twenty-eight months. The expedition resulted in the first reliable information about much of the area which Lewis & Clark traversed, made contact with the Indian inhabitants as a prelude to the expansion of the fur trade, and advanced by a quantum leap the geographical knowledge of the continent.The present example of the map is dated April 28th, 1814, which Wagner identifies as being the date of printing on all 3 of the English editions. This is the English re-engraving and publication of the map originally issued in 1814 to accompany the first American edition of Lewis & Clark's History Of The Expedition Under The Command Of Captains Lewis And Clark, To The Sources Of The Missouri . Book.

2 volumes. First official edition of the account of the famous Lewis and Clarke expedition (1804-1806), complete with the very rare folding map, which "is gone from many if not most of the copies now extant" (Grolier). The importance of the work can hardly be overestimated. It is lauded as the most influential work concerning the exploration of the American West ever printed. The map, which was the first accurate map of the newly acquired Louisiana and filled in many of the areas that were left blank on earlier maps, is a cartographic landmark.The objective of the expedition undertaken by Meriwether Lewis (1774-1809) and William Clarke (1770-1838) was to explore the Rocky Mountains, find a way to the Pacific, discover the source of the Missouri River, and establish trading ties with the Natives. They were prompted by Thomas Jefferson, who had realised the importance of exploring the area. Lewis and Clark were the first to travel overland to the Pacific Ocean and back. They brought back a wealth of new information about the geography, natural history, and the many Native tribes of the American West. Numerous species of birds and plants hitherto unknown to science were discovered (e.g. Lewis' Woodpecker, Lewis's Syringa etc.). The explorers traversed, moreover, through Louisiana, a territory annexed to the United States just prior to the start of the expedition (1803), and then still as little known as the interior of Africa.The work is an account of the expedition, based on the journals of Lewis and Clark themselves. The map and plates show the tracks of the expedition, the ancient fortification and the Great Falls of the Missouri River, the Great and Lower Falls, as well as the Mouth of Colombia River. The account was only published eight years after the expedition. Lewis had intended to edit his journals for publication as soon as possible, but his other duties as well as his untimely death in 1809 prevented this. Clark then asked for help and the journals were edited by Nicholas Biddle and Paul Allen. The work was finally printed in an edition of 2000 copies in Philadelphia in 1814, but after deduction of defective and missing copies, only 1417 went on sale. Many of them lacked the map, as it was more expensive to include it. The work was initially not very successful, as interest in the expedition had already waned. Lewis and Clark were even mostly forgotten later in the 19th century. This changed when their journals were rediscovered and published in 1901. Their work was then more thoroughly researched and has since been recognised as the most important exploration of the North American continent.The edges and corners of the boards are somewhat scuffed, the joints are slightly weakened. Foxed throughout as usual, the folding map has been reinforced with Japanese paper on the verso, wich has also restored a diagonal tear, a small triangular loss at the top of the map has been resotred in facsimile, the first quire of volume 1 has been restored in the gutter, a small loss at the head of the title page in volume two has been restored, small tears in the margins of a few other leaves throughout have also been restored.

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.
