For your Consideration is this 1898 illustrated copy of “Headwaters of the Mississippi” by Willard Glazier (1841-1905). Captain Willard Glazier led an expedition in 1881 that discovered the "True Head" of the Mississippi. Previous efforts by others had failed or unknowingly fallen short. In 1832, another explorer had discovered Lake Itasca, thinking it was the source. Indian tribes in the area denied the assertion. Glazier discovered another lake lying to the south of Itasca at a higher elevation that fed into Lake Itaska. This lake now bears Glazier's name. The book is illustrated throughout with drawings, maps, and even the first photographs taken of the area by another on the expedition. The condition of this book is good, with wear to the spine and the outside corners and browning to the pages consistent with the book’s age; overall, the book is in good, readable condition. The measurements of this book are 7 1/2" x 5 1/4".
