NMLP P-035254 — History of the Expedition under the Command of Captains Lewis and Clark

Meriwether Lewis and William Clark (prepared for publication by Paul Allen, from Nicholas Biddle's narrative) · Bradford and Inskeep (Philadelphia); printed by John Maxwell · 1814

The far more commonly encountered Elliott Coues 4-volume edition (Francis P. Harper, 1893) reprints and heavily annotates the Biddle-Allen 1814 text itself, so it is not a first-edition printing but is textually derived from it; Reuben Gold Thwaites's 8-volume "Original Journals of the Lewis and Clark Expedition" (1904-05) instead returns to Lewis's and Clark's raw manuscript journals rather than Biddle's literary paraphrase, making it a different work altogether. Neither should be mistaken for the 1814 Bradford and Inskeep first edition.
