17808583Hamburg: C.E. Bohn 1780. First German edition and first edition in a foreign language 8vo pp. xxiv 456; engraved folding map; nice copy of a scarce edition in 20th century 3/4 red morocco gilt by Stikeman. A seminal book in the history of the exploration of the American west and a cornerstone in Minnesota history. Peace between Great Britain and France at the close of the French and Indian Wars in 1763 brought eastern Minnesota under the British flag for the first time thus opening the vast territory to British fur traders. "Carver spent the winter of 1766-67 a short distance up the Minnesota River with the Sioux. He was then serving as mapmaker and advance man on an expedition led by Captain James Tute and inspired by Maj. Robert Rogers commandant at Fort Mackinac intended to cross the continent in quest of the Northwest Passage. The plan had to be given up but Carver later wrote and published an account of his travels which became a "best seller" of its day and gave to thousands on both sides of the Atlantic their first information about the Minnesota country" Fridley A Sketch of Minnesota p. 3.

197414370Norco CA: Tales of the Mojave Road Publishing 1974. First Edition. Softcover. Fine. Tales of the Mojave Road Number Four September 1974. 160 pp with index illustrations map endpapers. Original printed wrappers. Clean tightly bound unmarked. From the Foreword: "It is true that the army never established an official fort at this site. However the army did station a small number of troops here in 1867 and 1868 and they erected the stone building that looks more like a fort than any other ruin along the Mojave Road. Also it is well known that various military and civilian parties were attracted to this point as a campsite and spent time here. Consequently the Pah-Ute Cree site has become known as "Fort Pah-Ute" in an informal sense through many years of useage." Tales of the Mojave Road Publishing paperback books
