$375 · Offered by William Reese Company

TRAVELS IN NORTH AMERICA DURING THE YEARS 1834, 1835, & 1836. INCLUDING A SUMMER RESIDENCE WITH THE PAWNEE TRIBE OF INDIANS, IN THE REMOTE PRAIRIES OF THE MISSOURI, AND A VISIT TO CUBA AND THE AZORE ... The first and best edition of this work, in which Murray gives an early description of the Pawnees, before their devastation by smallpox. Howes calls this the "best account of the Pawnees while yet uncontaminated by whites." Murray travelled up the Hudson River into Canada, then through New York to Washington, D.C., through Virginia, up the Ohio River to Ohio, Kentucky and St. Louis, spent three months in Indian Territory, then went south to New Orleans, and finally on to Cuba.
