About This Item
1889: W.H. Lawrence & Co. First Edition. Small Quarto. Later reprint. portrait frontispiece, 394pp., with four maps, two single paged maps and two double paged maps. First published in 1810 and because of a few errors and inaccuracies of expression, the publisher's felt the British edition deemed the best choice for a reprint. Pike gives a day-by-day account of his travels. His travel through Colorado in the dead of winter was especially interesting. Bound in blue cloth lettered in gilt, rebacked in maroon cloth lettered in gilt, spine lettered in gilt, endpapers renewed, with nice repair to outer margin of frontispiece. A very nice copy without names or bookplates.
