[12 pp (unpaginated).], printed in red & black, in leporello accordion style format. With photo illustrations, rubricated initials, map. Self-printed softcovers (slight shelfwear, very slight toning), still VG bright copy. First edition of this scarce promotional souvenir touting the achievement of Hoag and Wilton piloting their 18-foot boat, powered by two 4-horsepower Evinrude outboard engines named Lewis & Clark, 5680 miles along the Columbia, Missouri, Illinois, & Hudson Rivers in 137 days. When setting out from Astoria, OR in a cheap canvas tent, the intrepid travelers quickly discovered that it offered not protection from either rain, or mosquito’s so they ordered a Peerless Auto Tent in Portland, and the durable canvas tent proved essential, including surviving golf ball sized hail stones in South Dakota. John Edwin Hoag and partner Ford were photographers for the Automobile Club of Southern California in Los Angeles.
