Notes:

The main text is a word for word reprint from the original, the greater number of pages resulting from the larger and more open type. The appendix is in substance the same, but the titles are re-arranged in better form. The five original plates are reproduced in facsimile, and there is one added plate called "Principal cascade of the Missouri". The map is reduced in size, and is inferior.--Coues.
