Synopsis
Excerpt from The Navigator: Containing Directions for Navigating the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers; With an Ample Account of These Much Admired Waters, From the Head of the Former, to the Mouth of the Latter; And a Concise Description of Their Towns, Villages, Harbors, Settlements, &C This edition of the Navigator, being the eleventh since the year 1801, is respectfully presented to the public. It being designedly calculated as an useful and necessary guide to those who navigate or trade on the rivers of which it treats - much pains have been taken to revise, correct, and enlarge it throughout. To do this satisfactorily, we have had the assistance of several of the most eminent pilots and navigators, and the use of late manuscript journals of gentlemen of observation, to whom we present our compliments for their aid and politeness. At a very considerable expense, the maps of the Ohio and Mississippi rivers have been added; and we flatter ourselves with the hope, that they will be found as useful to the navigator, as they have been troublesome to us. Those of the Ohio have been taken from actual survey. Those of the Mississippi partly from survey and partly from private charts, taken as accurately as the nature of that river will permit. The account of the Missouri and Columbia rivers, as traversed by captains Lewis and Clark, under the direction of the president of the United States, though but a brief view of that interesting voyage, we hope will be found entertaining. It has been collected from the letters of captain Clark, and other publications, since the return of the party. The account of Louisiana is highly interesting: and it has been collected from documents published by the directions of the congress and executive of the United States shortly after the acquisition of that country.
