New Edition with Historical, and Biographical Introduction, Annotations and Index by Henry Reed Stiles.to which is added a Bibliography. One of 500. Frontispiece and Facsimile map from the original french edition, Paris, 1713 in facsimile. 1 vols. 8vo. Wiberforce Eames's Copy. This is the basic and most reliable account of La Salle's voyage of exploration, and his attempt at establishing a colony at the mouth of the Mississippi River. Written by one La Salle's companions on the voyage, Joutel, who seems to have been the only one on whom the great explorer could rely. Of the three narratives of this journey, Parkman dismisses the work of both Cavelier and Douay, while calling Joutel's narrative "the work of an honest and intelligent man." The map was the first accurate delineation of the Mississippi River. It is based upon Joutel's own observations, and is the first map showing the results of La Salle's journeys This edition has added much information. SIGNED ON ENDPAPER BY WILBERFORCE EAMES.

Four raised bands (5 compartments), lettered in bright gilt. 386 pp. Headpieces and tailpieces, and historiated caps. Lacks the folding map. Previous owner's signature, in part blurred or crossed out, with 1777 date, in ink. Joutel was a French soldier whose father had worked for LaSalle's family as a gardener. He became a close confidante of LaSalle, and accompanied the explorer on his third and final expedition, during which Lasalle was murdered at the hands of his own men. Joutel, who was not present at the time of the assassination, discovering the mutiny upon his return, narrowly escaped the mutinous crew, and accompanied by a small band of the six remaining loyal crew, went overland 800 leagues (about 2600 miles) from Texas to Quebec, Canada. Book provides an account of his experiences and trials, wandering around Texas and what was to become Arkansas, in search of the Mississippi River. Lacks map.

XXXIV, 386 pp.Extremely rare first edition of the journal of the last voyage made by De La Salle to America and the Gulf of Mexico to explore the Mississippi River and Louisiana. The expedition turned out tragically, for De La Salle was murdered by his own men during the journey on 19 March 1687. This account is written by Henri Joutel, one of his companions and probably the only person on board whom he could rely on. Charlevoix, who knew Joutel personally, once described him as a very upright man.This work is rare as it is, but our copy is of a much greater rarity because it contains the large folding map, which is almost never found with the book. The beautifully designed and engraved map depicts a small view of Nicaragua, part of the Atlantic and the coastal areas of America and Middle America, which are relevant for the expedition. Besides the mouth of the Mississippi it records many other small rivers, described for the first time by De la Salle.With an owner's inscription struck through on the title-page. Binding slightly worn, especially around the spine, some occasional spots, but otherwise in very good condition. A rare work journal of an important American journey, with the large folding map that is rarely included.l Chadenat 2656; JCB I, 177; Leclerc 925; Sabin 36760; Wagner, The Spanish south-west 79.
