St. John de Crèvecoeur, 1801

[CRÈVECOEUR, J. Hector St. John de (1735-1813).] Voyage dans la Haute Pensylvanie et dans l'état de New York, par un membre adoptif de la Nation Onéida. Paris: Maradan, 1801.



Handsome set of the first edition. Although this work purports to be a translation on the title-page, it is an original work by Crèvecoeur. Crèvecoeur first came to America in 1754 and would travel widely through the colonies, and the Great Lakes and Ohio regions. The engravings include portraits of Kesketoma, a sachem of Ondondaga and Koohassen, an Oneida warrior; landscapes of Niagara Falls; and large maps. Howes C-884; Sabin 17501.



Three volumes, octavo (197 x 120mm). Half-titles. With 11 engraved plates and maps, many folding. (Vol. 2 with pale dampstain, mostly at ends.) Contemporary tree calf, board edges and spines gilt, red and green morocco lettering- and numbering-pieces (light wear to joints and extremities, small chip to head of vol. 3 spine, a few scuffs). Provenance: G. Ducharme, bookseller of Quebec (bookplate) – Ernest E. Keet (bookplate).
