Zadok Cramer (1773-1814), a New Jerseyan of Quaker origin, dedicated his life to books. He opened his bookstore "Franklin Head" on Market street in Philadelphia in 1800 and established his own publication company there later. The Navigator was born out of necessity. Cramer had noticed the need for a guide to navigating the rivers that were bound west and south after he saw groups of immigrants pass through Pittsburgh asking for directions. The Navigator was published before the Louisiana Purchase in 1803, but Cramer grew interested in the Lewis and Clark expedition and was in fact the first to publish an account of the expedition as The Journal of Patrick Gass in 1807. From this account Cramer took descriptions of the Missouri and Columbia Rivers, which were added to the Navigator in 1808, and included in all subsequent editions. Additional information was added to each edition, and at the pinnacle of its popularity in 1814 it reached 360 pages. All editions after this began to shrink in size. Howes C 855; Sabin 17386.
