Harmon, Daniel Williams. A Journal of Voyages and Travels in the Interior of North America between the 47th and 58th Degrees of North Latitude, Extending from Montreal Nearly to the Pacific Ocean ... Including an Account of the Principal Occurrences, during a Residence of Nineteen Years, in Different Parts of the Country. To Which Are Added, a Concise Description of the Face of the Country, Its Inhabitants ... and Considerable Specimens of the Two Languages, Most Extensively Spoken; Together with an Account of the Principal Animals, to Be Found in the Forests and Prairies of This Extensive Region ..Printed by Flagg and Gould, 1820.

Generally this book is in very fine condition, and it was once part of the Floyd Risvold collection. This volume is critically important in understanding early exploration across the United States, and because of a dictionary in the back of the book which translates two different Native American languages into English. As might be expected, the journal centers on Native American contact with whites in the various forms along the waterways. A folded map – in excellent condition with the exception of some foxing – covers the area from approximately Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence River westward to the Pacific Ocean. The journal begins in April 1800. This is a choice quality item. City: State: Date: 1820 HWAC# 80237
