Travels through the Interior Parts of North America, in the Years 1766, 1767 and 1768 (Illustrated Edition)

Jonathan Carver (1710-80) was a colonial Massachusetts explorer and writer. Setting out in 1766 he undertook a three year journey in search of a Northwest Passage to the Pacific. First published in 1778 Carver's book about his explorations, giving a detailed account of the life of the Indian tribes he encountered, was an immediate success and is reprinted from the second edition of 1781.
