Description

"The navigator; containing directions for navigating the Monongahela, Allegheny, Ohio, and Mississippi Rivers by Zadok Cramer, first printed in 1801, became an indispensable guide for travelers and settlers moving westward into the interior of the United States. At a dollar a copy, the book was an immediate best seller. Cramer constantly enlarged and corrected his original edition, adding material about the new territories acquired by the United States and expanding and bringing up-to-date earlier sections. In less than twenty-five years, The Navigator had run through twelve editions. Authors of similar guides plagiarized it freely"--Foreward.
