Cramer, Zadok The Navigator: Containing directions for navigating the Monongahela, Allegheny, Ohio and Mississippi Rivers; with an ample account of these much admired waters, from the head of the former to the mouth of the latter; and a concise description of their towns, villages, harbours, settlements; with accurate maps of the Ohio and Mississippi. Includes Appendix containing an account of Louisiana and of the Missouri and Columbia Rivers as discovered by the voyage under Captains Lewis and Clarke. Includes letter from James Smith to the publishers, dated 18 Feb. 1812. Pittsburgh: Printed and published by Cramer, Spear and Eichbaum, 1811. 8vo (175 x 100 mm). 28 maps including woodcut map of Pittsburgh, 13 of the Ohio and 13 of the Mississippi; some scattered foxing, but a very good copy of a work put to hard use. Contemporary calf-backed marbled boards; minor spine repair, boards rubbed. Tipped to the title of this copy is a printed letter from James Smith to the publishers about alterations to channels in the Mississippi. Seventh edition, fifth known edition. The “most widely used guide to western water in the early period, both before and after the application of steam in 1807” (Howes). The Navigator was the result of an original idea of Cramer's. He had been in Pittsburgh but a short time when he realized the necessity for a publication giving detailed information for navigating the Western rivers. It is generally supposed that the first edition of The Navigator was published in 1801 yet no copy bearing that date is known to be in existence. There are extant several copies of the edition of 1802. The earlier editions were small octavo pamphlets bound in coarse paper covers, the third containing some forty pages. Cramer declared that he had obtained the information set forth "From the journals of gentlemen of observation, and now minutely corrected by several persons who have navigated those rivers for fifteen and twenty years." PROVENANCE W S Jones (bookplate and ownership signature "W S Jones, Vaucluse" ). Vaucluse was a large plantation in Frederick County, Virginia. REFERENCE Howes C855; Streeter sale 994; Sabin 17385
