(Thomson 282) (Howes C855) (Sabin 17385) A very nice example of this important guide used for travel along the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers in the early nineteenth century. "At the beginning of the 19th century, the waterways of the trans-Appalachian West were important transportation routes for emigrants, traders, and travelers. Flatboats, keelboats, and eventually steamboats carried goods and people to various destinations along the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers as well as their tributaries. River guides became standard purchases for those who traveled the western waters. One of the earliest and best-known river guides was compiled by Zadok Cramer." ("American River Guides from 1800 to 1860," AB Bookman's Weekly, July 27, 1998, p. 125) Cramer died in 1813, two years after the publication of the 7th edition of The Navigator. His wife, and eventually his daughter, took his place in the printing business, and five additional guides were published between 1814 and 1824.

("American River Guides from 1800 to 1860," AB Bookman's Weekly, July 27, 1998, p. 125) Cramer died in 1813, two years after the publication of the 7th edition of The Navigator. His wife, and eventually his daughter, took his place in the printing business, and five additional guides were published between 1814 and 1824. While significant revisions were made to the eighth edition of 1814, the last four editions saw only minor changes. Among the changes made to the 10th edition of 1818 were an updated section on Pittsburgh as well as updated entries for other river towns. In this particular copy of the 10th Navigator, someone consistently checked off the individual entries from Island No. 35 [Tipton County, Tennessee] to Bayou Sara, Louisiana. There are also occasional number notations in the right margin which appear to be mileage corrections. There's an interesting drawing on page iv, which has a large building in the center, possibly a warehouse, flanked by two smaller buildings on stilts. While not certain, this copy may have been used by a flatboatman or steamboat pilot or possibly a passenger who was traveling on the Lower Mississippi River.

Hardcover. Condición: Near fine. Ninth. Ninth edition. Pittsburgh: Robert Ferguson & Co. for Cramer, Spear, and Eichbaum, 1817. Duodecimo in 6s (6 1/2" x 4 1/8", 165mm x 106mm). [Full collation available.] With 28 full-page wood-cut river charts within the text. Bound in modern red half morocco over red cloth boards.

Red numerical ink stamp to the recto of the first binder's blank, violet ink stamps of the New Bedford Free Public Library dated Oct. 1890 to the title-page and to p. 25. Zadok Cramer (1773-1814), a New Jerseyan of Quaker origin, dedicated his life to books. He opened his bookstore "Franklin Head" on Market street in Philadelphia in 1800 and established his own publication company there later. The Navigator was born out of necessity. Cramer had noticed the need for a guide to navigating the rivers that were bound west and south after he saw groups of immigrants pass through Pittsburgh asking for directions. The Navigator was published before the Louisiana Purchase in 1803, but Cramer grew interested in the Lewis and Clark expedition and was in fact the first to publish an account of the expedition as The Journal of Patrick Gass in 1807. From this account Cramer took descriptions of the Missouri and Columbia Rivers, which were added to the Navigator in 1808, and included in all subsequent editions. Additional information was added to each edition, and at the pinnacle of its popularity in 1814 it reached 360 pages. All editions after this began to shrink in size. Howes C 855; Sabin 17386.

Styled "Eighth Edition" on the titlepage, but actually the sixth known edition, after those of 1802, 1804, 1806, 1808, and 1811, the first two surviving in a few copies only. This edition is considerably enlarged over all previous efforts, with a woodcut map of Pittsburgh, thirteen woodcut maps of the Ohio from Pittsburgh to the Mississippi, and thirteen woodcut maps of the Mississippi almost to New Orleans. The appendix, with information on Lewis and Clark, was first included in the 1808 edition, but much more geographical information on the western country is given in this edition, especially relative to the upper waters of the Mississippi. There are also a number of firsthand accounts of the famous New Madrid earthquake of 1812 and of tributary streams of the Mississippi. Cramer's guide was the first navigational guide to the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers. This was the final edition of The Navigator. to be prepared by Cramer himself, who died in 1816. HOWES C855.

There is also an appendix containing much information on the Lewis and Clark expedition, first included in the 1808 edition. Cramer's guide was the first navigational guide to the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers. This copy contains the book label of S.E. Morse, likely Sidney Edwards Morse (1794-1871).

The present edition is the first to contain material regarding the Lewis and Clark expedition, found on the final ten pages of text. The Lewis and Clark material is taken from Patrick Gass' journal, which was also printed by Zadok Cramer in Pittsburgh the previous year.
