Gass, Patrick. Gass’s journal of the Lewis and Clark expedition, ed. by Jas. K. Hosmer. [*]$3.50. McClurg.
Dr. Hosmer, who contributed to the centennial interest in the Lewis and Clark expedition thru his “Story of the Louisiana purchase,” has added further to the commemoration in the present work. The original jottings of Patrick Gass being no longer extant, nothing of them could be included in Thwaites’ recent “Original journals of the Lewis and Clark expedition,” but the chronicles trimmed and shaped by David McKeehan, under the supervision of Gass, are of so great importance that the re-issue after sixty years is well warranted. A full introduction leads up to the records, and a time-saving analytical key follows the text. The volume is uniform in style with other volumes of McClurg’s “Americana,” with reproductions of the original illustrations.
“Dr. Hosmer has confined his editorial work to supplying an introduction. The volume contains no new contribution, nor does it make the journal of Gass much more valuable as a source. The introduction, in an easy though sometimes rather personal style, always with a view to the picturesque, is a convenient summary of the results of recent research.”
