He was born  in Weymouth, Massachusetts. He achieved the rank of Captain in the Massachusetts militia, having fought in the French and Indian War. In 1766, Robert Rogers contracted Jonathan to lead an expedition to find a western water route to the Pacific Ocean, the Northwest Passage. Carver explored up the Mississippi river to what is now Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan. Carver County, MN is named after him. On this trip he discovered Carver's Cave. Rogers was unable to pay Carver after the expedition, so Carver turned to writing to make money. In 1769 Carver returned to England to write his Travels... book. The book was published in 1778. The book proved immensely popular, and many editions, in several different languages, were issued. The profits did not come soon enough for him, however. He died in poverty on January 31, 1780 in London. (Ref: M&B; Tooley) Please note all items auctioned are genuine, we do not sell reproductions.
