Journal of the Voyages and Travels of a Corps of Discovery, Patrick Gass

First edition of the earliest published firsthand account of the Lewis and Clark expedition, preceding by seven years the official report. Patrick Gass "became one of the best-known members of the expedition for several reasons: his key role as sergeant brought his name up frequently in the journals of Lewis and Clark; his account was the first to be published; he was the first to have a biography written about him; and finally, he outlived the other members of the Corps of Discovery by decades" (Wagner-Camp 6:1). Gass coined the term “Corp of Discovery,” which became synonymous with the Lewis and Clark Expedition. "One of the essential books for an Americana collection" (Streeter).
