‎The Plains and the Rockies A Bibliography of Original Narratives of Travel and Adventure 1800-1865‎

‎Columbus Ohio: Long's College Book Co. 1953. Important Third revised edition with much significant information missing from the 4th edition. Appears unread. Very Fine condition. Sharp corners. Hinges are perfect. NOT a library discard. NO owner's name or bookplate. Square and tight. With 32 plates mostly title page facsimiles. Although a 4th edition was published in 1982 Robert Becker admits in the introduction to it that "the pressure of space led to a sometimes drastic editing of the informal notes which added a great deal of charm to the earlier editions." The 3rd edition is still indispensable for its notes mentioning related books and pamphlets many descriptions of routes and other useful annotations that were excluded from the 4th edition. Unfortunately the 4th edition also deleted some important items e. g. Mitchill and Miller's The Medical Repository 1800-11 noted as Wagner-Camp 9 in the 3rd edition. In addition few of the 3rd edition's 32 plates were retained in the 4th. Americana specialists need both editions. Bound in the original gray cloth gilt-stamped over a red panel on the spine.
