Why would anyone cite this particular edition? It's not the first ed., which is, I think, http://openlibrary.org/books/OL23411638M/inland_voyage.
it's not even the first american edition. It's not a standard scholarly edition. It's not an earlier collected edition. It's not an edition which is currently in print. What's more, it's a defective record, because the date on the displayed cover does not match the date of the edition on the catalog record--which is the date on the title page of the actual copy scanned, which does not have the original cover. The cover was selected by an automatic algorithm, which got it wrong. If we're going to standardize citations, we should standardize a correct record to an appropriate version, not any version that happens along. Of course, that's considerably harder. But I dod not see the point of setting up an elaborate system based on bad data. .
