1832 The Western Pilot Ohio River & Mississippi River Navigation Voyages 43 MAPS

A mile-by-mile navigation aid for traveling the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers.

Samuel Cumings’ book “The Western Pilot” is an impressive and highly desirable 19^th-century history of two of the largest rivers in America. Cumings describes both the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers with the utmost detail, seemingly describing every bend and straight, each port and river city, islands, creeks and branches, smaller rivers, and so much more.

It is, however, the dozens of full-page maps of the rivers that makes this book so desirable. Both rivers are broken in sections that can be illustrated – showing cities and towns, important islands, and points of interest along the entire river.
