With folding map. Full title: "An account of a voyage up the Mississippi River : from St. Louis to its source, made under orders of the war department, by Lieut. Pike, of the United States Army, in the years 1805 and 1806 / compiled from Mr. Pike's journal." Told in the third person. This paraphrase of Pike's journal seems to be the work of Nicholas King. The manuscript copy in the Library of Congress, Division of manuscripts, is in the handwriting of King. Its title ends with the statement, "Compiled from Mr. Pike's journal by Nich. King." The last three words are partly erased. (-NYPL Catalog). See: Z.M. Pike. The expeditions of Zebulon Montgomery Pike ... [ed] by Elliott Coues, New York, 1895, v.1, p. xxxiii-xxxv.
