A reprint of a book relating the medical history of the Lewis and Clark expedition. The author, a physician himself, explores the medical milieu of the early 19th century, focusing on medicine as it was practiced in the Army, among Native Americans, and on the frontier. Particular attention is given to the practice of bloodletting by doctors. Preparations for the expedition and the journey itself are then covered in detail, with an emphasis on illnesses and injuries that expedition members suffered along the way and how they were treated. Originally published in 1979 by the Arthur H. Clark Company (Glendale, California). Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.

Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection.  As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free.  Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.

The Tracks and Landfalls of Bering and Chirikof On The Northwest Coast of America

Excerpt from The Tracks and Landfalls of Bering and Chirikof on the Northwest Coast of America: From the Point of Their Separation in Latitude 49 10' Longitude 176 40' West, to Their Return to the Same Meridian, June, July, August, September, October, 1741 
It is many years since we commenced the identification and reconciliation of the landfalls of the early Spanish and English navigators on the Northwest Coast of America; especially those of Ulloa, Cabrillo, Ferrelo, Drake, Vizcaino and Aguilar, from 1539 to 1603. Following their heroic achievements was a lull of Spanish exploration on this Coast for one hundred and sixty-six years. Then came the long series of Spanish discoveries and surveys from 1769 to, and overlapping the explorations of Cook, La Pcrouse and Vancouver, from 1778 to 1794, which had been prompted by Spanish activity. 
In that long interval there were two important and remarkable expeditions made by the ambitious and irrepressible Russians in the North Pacific which led to Berings discovery of the East Cape of Asia at Bering Strait in 1728; the charting of the Kurils and their relation to Japan by Spauberg in i738-39; and the discovery of the southwest coast of Alaska, and part of the great chain of the Aleutian Islands in 1741. Moreover the latter experience of the St. Peter and the St. Paul wiped from the Northwest Pacific, the mythical "Gamaland of De 1 Isles map; the Grand Isa. di jezoelunga of Dudley's Arcano del Mare 1647, only three hundred nautical miles from the Coast of Oregon in latitude 46, and the I: di Jezo, of the earlier Miinchen Ms. chart, only one hundred and eighty nautical miles from Oregon in the same latitude. 
These Russian expeditions demanded far greater labor, time and endurance than those of Spain, England or France. 
The literature which we have concerning the achievements of Bering and Chirikof, so far as we can reach it upon this Coast, is very meagre, and not satisfactory: so that it seemed almost impracticable to reconcile all their tracks and landfalls. Their longitudes were worthless, for they differed 3 or 400 nautical miles; the latitudes were not always reliable; the descriptions of the coasts were not consistent and wholly lacked details and elevations; while the dead reckoning was delusive, and the currents were an unknown quantity, and treacherous. We know comparatively little of the currents to this day.
