Jonathan Carver, 1781

CARVER, Jonathan (1732-1780). Travels through the Interior Parts of North America, in the Years 1766, 1767, and 1768. London: Printed for C. Dilly [et al], 1781.



Third edition, the most complete edition in both text and illustrations. Carver was one of the English soldiers wounded and captured at the massacre of Fort William Henry by the French and Indians in 1757. He gives a vivid account of the battle, and overall this is one of the earliest and best accounts of the frontier in Minnesota and Wisconsin. Dr. J. C. Lettsom added the biography of Carver and the index. The portrait and the coloring are special to this edition. Field 251; Graff 622; Howes C-215; Sabin 11184.



Octavo (207 x 127mm). Mezzotint portrait of the author, two folding maps hand-colored in outline and five folding plates, four of which are hand-colored (last plate separated at fold, outer edge chipped, some light offsetting.) Later half morocco over marbled boards, spine gilt (edges scuffed).
