Lafitau Joseph Francois 1681 1746
Histoire des découvertes et conquestes des Portugais dans le Nouveau monde
2 volumes. 8xxiv616471 pages with 4 maps ad view one folding and 3 plates one folding; 2693892 pages with 1 map and 6 plates. Quarto 10 1/4" x 10 1/4" bound in half leather with raised spine bands and gilt lettering to spine over marbled boards. Borba de Moraes page I:453; European Americana 733/146; Sabin 38591 First edition.<br /><br />Joseph-François Lafitau was a French Jesuit missionary ethnologist and naturalist. He is best known for his use of the comparative method in the field of scientific anthropology the discovery of ginseng and his writings on the Iroquois. Lafitau was the first of the Jesuit missionaries in Canada to have a scientific point of view. Lafitau is considered the first of the modern ethnographers and a precursor of scientific ethnology for his work on the Iroquois. He developed a model of studying peoples that involved describing existing cultures on their own terms—not in comparison to European society. He distinguished generic and specific traits transforming the "generic savage" into specific tribal groups. He explained that "only from specific identities can genetic relations be inferred."5 Furthermore he was the first to declare "contemporary primitive cultures throw light upon the culture of ancient people and vice versa. Lafitau is remembered for applying the comparative method with a greater level of competency than any of his contemporaries. Through original field observations he was able to critique the works of earlier writers on Primitive peoples. By using the Comparative Method Lafitau rejected all theories of social and cultural change and instead used his study to demonstrate the similarities in customs practices and usages of the Native North Americans with diverse peoples from different continents and centuries. He consistently relied on the doctrine of degeneration: all men originally shared one religion with one God but over time as people migrated to separate margins of the earth where they then lost touch with the values and traditions of this one true religion and culture. Therefore Lafitau believed in the "psychic unity of mankind" and the doctrine of primitive monotheism. His major work written in French was first published in 1724 in Paris. It is entitled <i>Customs of the American Indians Compared with the Customs of Primitive Times</i> <i>Moeurs des Sauvages Amériquains Comparées aux Moeurs des Premiers Temps</i> and is 1100 pages in total. In 1974 William Fenton and Elizabeth Moore made the first translation into English available. Lafitau published two other works. One <i>Histoire de Jean de Brienne Roy de Jérusalem et Empereur de Constantinople</i> Paris 1727 was released before he returned to Canada; it is little known and seldom seen. A two-volume <i>Histoire des découvertes et conquestes des Portugais dons le Nouveau Monde . . .</i> 1733 appeared after he came home to France. Frequently found in libraries it is not just a compilation of original sources but an attempt to make available to French readers a story of exploration and adventure otherwise denied to them; in the chronicles he sees a long development of customs hitherto unnoticed such as he had reported in the <i>Mœurs</i>; from them understood only he says in the original languages of the people who practice them he builds his "system" or philosophy of history and once more he is concerned too with the relation between custom and natural history or ecology.<br /><br /><b>Condition:</b><br /><br />Beautifully rebound in half leather. Faint dampening to second volume; early owner's signatures on title pages inked stamps of St Charles Borromeo Seminary on front paste-downs and first title page lacks frontispiece else a very good to fine set.<br /> Chez Saugrain pere, quai des Augustins, au coin de la rue Chez Saugrain pere, quai des Augustins, au coin de la rue Pavee, a la hardcover books

LAGO DON
The Powell Expedition: New Discoveries About John Wesley Powell's 1869 River Journey
University of Nevada Press Reno: 2019. Softcover. Brand new book. John Wesley Powell's 1869 expedition down the Green and Colorado Rivers and through the Grand Canyon continues to be one of the most celebrated adventures in American history ranking with the Lewis and Clark expedition and the Apollo landings on the moon. For nearly twenty years Lago has researched the Powell expedition from new angles traveled to thirteen states and looked into archives and other sources no one else has searched. He has come up with many important new documents that change and expand our basic understanding of the expedition by looking into Powell's crewmembers some of whom have been almost entirely ignored by Powell historians. Historians tended to assume that Powell was the whole story and that his crewmembers were irrelevant. More seriously because several crew members made critical comments about Powell and his leadership historians who admired Powell were eager to ignore and discredit them. Lago offers a feast of new and important material about the river trip and it will significantly rewrite the story of Powell's famous expedition. This book is not only a major work on the Powell expedition but on the history of American exploration of the West. Don Lago is one of the most respected historians of the Grand Canyon and the author of Grand Canyon: A History of a Natural Wonder and National Park. He has published more than 50 personal essays in national magazines and literary journals. His latest book is Where the Sky Touched the Earth: Cosmological Landscapes of the Southwest. He lives in Flagstaff Arizona. "The Powell Expedition is a thought-provoking nuanced work that reads at times like a detective story and it should offer much fodder for historians." -- The Wall Street Journal "Lago examines many theories about the fate of three members of Powell's expedition who left the river before the end of the journey and were never seen again. While the true fate of these explorers may never be known there are enough leads in this account to entertain Colorado River rafters around campfires for years. Grand Canyon enthusiasts will find much to consider in this book." -- Library Journal "This is no straightforward river adventure but rather a collection of multiple intriguing theories about various disputed facts making for excellent campfire stories after a long day on the river." -- Publisher's Weekly "Lago is a storyteller and his accessible sprightly writing style makes what could be a mind-numbing collection of facts read like an adventure yarn." --New York Journal of Books "Written in a refreshingly transparent first-person style Lago demythologizes Powell corrects past libels and properly puts the focus on his crew. This book will be of interest to historians and river rats alike." -- True West Magazine "Lago's latest book is the result of 20 years of research across 13 states digging into the history of the expedition's individual crew members to tell a far more specific story that the broad tale of river running and canyon mapping." -- Grand Canyon News "Conjecture readily admitted and tangential wanderings pervade the text resting comfortably alongside nuggets of deep research that rewrite important aspects of Powell's story and offer insight on Western exploration." --Roundup Magazine "Don Lago's The Powell Expedition: New Discoveries about John Wesley Powell's 1869 River Journeytakes a new fresh look at the 1869 expedition down the Green and Colorado Rivers led by John Wesley Powell. He concentrates especially on the often-overlooked members of the crew and the events that led to distrust tension and the eventual departure of three members of the party as well as an in-depth look at the deaths of those three and the subsequent lives of most if not all of the men. The book is definitely a significant and novel contribution to the literature on Powell and that's saying something. The sources Lago consulted are astounding in a word." --Roy Webb author of Riverman: The Story of Bus Hat "Don Lago has spent over 20 years researching Powell's 1869 river expedition ferreting out details nobody else has discovered myth-busting speculating and clarifying the whys and wherefores of the trip. This book is a culmination of those details and speculation with updates on his previous writings and adding a wealth of new material. Lago covers topics no other Powell biographer/author has addressed or ones in this depth." --Richard Quartaroli special collections librarian emeritus Northern Arizona University "In search of answers and explanations he delves into details of chronologies genealogies and politics but he keeps the stories alive by following out speculations and connections along unexpected trails of evidence. Offering many intriguing new ideas and directions for further research Lago's The Powell Expedition will be of great interest to scholars of Powell's survey. For anyone with an interest in Colorado River history Lago's book will be enjoyable reading." --The Western Historical Quarterly "Anniversaries of key historical events spawn books and the 150th anniversary of John Wesley Powell's 1869 exploration of the Green and Colorado Rivers has bred several. The best of these so far is Don Lago's The Powell Expedition. The most revered writers on the topic tend to be either academics or rivers guides erstwhile or present. Academics bring the best tools of their disciplines to the subject while river guides bring their understanding of the river. Lago a respected Grand Canyon historian brings both.he manages to do what office-bound writers find difficult: give the reader a sense of what it is like to be on the river at night jawing with longtime guides steeped in the sources who love to explore mysteries that have no definitive answers. If you are serious about understanding Powell's first expedition down the Green and Colorado Rivers this is the book to read during this sesquicentennial year." --Utah Historical Quarterly University of Nevada Press, Reno: 2019 paperback
