LEWIS WALLACE G
In The Footsteps Of Lewis And Clark: Early Commemorations And The Origins Of The National Historic Trail
University of Colorado Press Boulder: 2010. Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. Although it was 1806 when Lewis and Clark returned to St. Louis after their journey across the country it was not until 1905 that they were celebrated as national heroes. In the Footsteps of Lewis and Clark examines how public attitudes toward their explorations and the means of commemorating them have changed from the production of the Lewis and Clark Exposition in 1905 to the establishment of the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail in 1978 and the celebrations of the expedition's bicentennial from 2003 through 2007. The first significant stirrings of national public interest in Lewis and Clark coincided with the beginning of a nationwide fascination with transcontinental automobile touring. Americans began to reconnect with the past and interact with the history of Western expansion by becoming a new breed of "frontier explorer" via their cars. As a result early emphasis on local plaques and monuments yielded to pageants reenactments and ultimately attempts to retrace the route promoting conservation and recreation along its length. Wallace G. Lewis details the ingenuity that inspired the establishment of the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail opening a window to how America reimagines recreates and remembers its own past. In the Footsteps of Lewis and Clark will appeal to both scholarly and armchair historians interested in the Western frontier as experienced by both Lewis and Clark and those retracing their steps today. Wallace G. Lewis is a professor of history at Western State College of Colorado. "Not just another title in the flood of books about the Lewis and Clark expedition. a useful guidebook in addition to being a good read." - Richard H. Dillion TrueWest Magazine "By using the iconic Lewis and Clark expedition as a test case for the constructions of national myths and nostalgic expressions of patriotism the author has offered historians an accessible and insightful model for future studies of historical sites and trails throughout the United States." - Jeffery P. Shephard ". . . an important contribution to the literature for it provides a thorough and insightful focus on a relatively ignored era in the fascinating commemorative history of the expedition." - Kevin Blake Material Culture University of Colorado Press, Boulder: 2010 hardcover

Lewis & Clark Expedition Gass Patrick.
The Journals of Patrick Gass: Member of the Lewis and Clark Expedition. Edited and Annotated by Carol Lynn MacGregor.
Missoula:: Mountain Press Publishing Company 1997. . A Near Fine copy with a touch of soiling to the foredge in a Fine dust jacket. Sergeant Patrick Gass was one of the few members of the Lewis and Clark expedition to keep a continuous log of the entire epic journey. His simple and direct wrIting style along with his emphasis on the daily activities of the trip made Gass's journal more accessible to the general reader than other firsthand accounts and revealed the optimistic spirit of the expedition. In this new edition Carol MacGregor's thorough annotation of the journal and the inclusion of Gass's recently discovered personal account ledger lend new insight into the life and work of PatrIck Gass. The Journals of Patrick Gass represents a significant contribution to the study of the Lewis and Clark expedition essential for everyone interested in the history of Western expansion.

Lobo Jeronimo 1592? 1678; edited by M G da Costa
The Itinerário of Jerónimo Lobo
xxiv417 pages with 9 illustrations including frontispiece 4 maps bibliography and index. Octavo 8 3/4" x 5 1/2" bound in original publisher's blue cloth with gilt lettering to spine and gilt vignette of the ship Victoria to front cover in original jacket. Translated by Donald M Lockhart Introduction by C F Beckingham. Second Series volume 162. First edition.<br /><br />Jeronimo Lobo was the last survivor of the small band of Jesuit Father who tried with a measure of success to reconcile Ethiopia to the Church of Rome. His life was long and adventurous. Chosen to serve in India when still a novice he was ordained with extreme haste and embarked on a ship which was force to turn back in the Gulf of Guinea. He reached India in the next year after being involved in a naval fight against the Dutch and English off Mozambique. He was selected for the Ethiopian mission and made a remarkable attempt to reach the country from the Somali coast. After his unsurprising failure in this he returned to India and eventually made his way to Bailul in the Red Sea and across the Danakil desert. He spent nine years in Ethiopia part of the time in the neighborhood of the source of the Blue Nile. Exiled when the Emperor restored the authority of the Ethiopian church he was among those handed over to the Turks at Massaw. After suffering much hardship and danger regained India. Sent to Europe on a confidential mission to advocate military intervention of behalf of the Ethiopian Catholics his ship was wrecked on the South African coast. The castaways built two boats one of which improbably succeeded in rounding the Cape and arriving at Luanda in Angola. Here he embarked on a ship carrying slaves to the Spanish Main. It was captured by the Dutch and Lobo was marooned on an island but contrived to make his way to Cartagena and Havana and so to Europe. His diplomatic business took him to Madrid and Rome but his plea for armed assistance did not succeed. in 1640 he again went to India where he was at times in serious conflict with the secular authorities; he was accused of Spanish sympathies and was confined in a Franciscan convent for a time. He returned to Portugal in 1657. In his last years he was in touch with the English envoy Sir Robert Southwell and corresponded with the Royal Society of London which published an English translation of some tractates which he wrote probably in response to specific questions submitted to him on the Society's behalf. Lobo's account of his travels was not printed during his lifetime. A French translation appeared in 1728 and was translated into English by Dr Johnson and published in 1755. In 1947 however a draft of the Itinerario was discovered by M G da Costa in the Public Library of Braga. He has shown that the manuscript had almost as many vicissitudes as its author. With the support of the Gulbenkian foundation he prepared an edition of all Lobo's surviving writings and this was published in 1971. Dr Lockhart's translation is based on the text in this edition. The narrative begins with Lobo's ordination. It ends with his return from his unsuccessful journey to Italy.<br /><br />Condition:<br /><br />Jacket with some edge wear and spine ends heavily rubbed else a very good to fine copy in a very good jacket.
