Included in this lot is a First Edition of "The Trail Of Lewis And Clark" by Olin D. Wheeler, Two Volumes, 1904, G. P. Putnam's Sons publishers, 200 illustrations. "The Trail Of Lewis And Clark, 1804-1904" is a seminal two-volume historical and travel work written by Wheeler retracing the original route taken by Meriwether Lewis and William Clark exactly 100 years later. He was the first historian to produce a significant work about the expedition. He used trains, steamboats, and pack trains to document how the landscape had changed since the 1804–1806 journey. One of the work's most valuable contributions is its collection of nearly 200 images, including photographs of the trail's "face of the land" in 1904, maps, and reproductions of primary documents. One of photographers who accompanied Wheeler was the Frank J. Haynes (official photographer of Yellowstone National Park and the Northern Pacific Railway) protégé L. A. Huffman of Miles CIty, Montana. The book includes unique accounts, such as an interview with Pe-tów-ya, a Cayuse woman who remembered meeting the explorers as a child, and photos of Wolf Calf, a Blackfeet survivor of the expedition's only fatal encounter. Olin Dunbar Wheeler (1852-1925) was an American historian, author and topographer. Wheeler was a civil engineer on the Geographical and Geological Survey of the Rocky Mountain Region headed by geologist John Wesley Powell in 1874.
