MAXIMILIAN ZU WIED-NEUWIED, Prince (1782-1867). Voyage dans l'interieur de l'Amérique du Nord, exécuté pendant les années 1832, 1833, et 1834. Paris: Arthus Bertrand, 1840-43.
3 volumes text only, 8o (245 x 160 mm). One large partially colored engraved folding map, one small engraved map, text illustrations printed on 30 plates, bound in at end of each volume. (Some scattered light foxing.) Original printed wrappers (light even darkening to spines, some minor chipping to spine ends and a few edges); cloth folding case.
FIRST FRENCH EDITION, with the very rare map that is seldom found with the text. Prince Maximilian traveled along the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers to the upper Missouri amongst the American tribes of the Plains during 1833-1834, reaching as far west as Fort Mackenzie and the Blackfoot tribe of Montana. He gathered botanical and natural history data, and the expedition resulted in an enormously productive study of the Plains and the Rockies Indians, second in importance only to the Lewis and Clark Journals. Field Indian Bibliography 1036; Howes M-443a; Sabin 47015; Wagner-Camp 76:3. (3)
