Zadok Cramer was a publisher, bookbinder, book seller, and library founder in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Starting in 1803, he sought to publish navigation information for western rivers. The result was The Navigator, a publication providing this information to travelers seeking to travel to the west and south by river. Several editions of this title were published.
