Described by Carl Wheat as a landmark in the cartography of the American West, the map shows the Oregon and Sante Fe Trails, locations of Indian tribes and villages, and other scattered settlements.

Largely self-educated and an accute observer, Gregg made detailed notes on many facets of his experience. He took his manuscript to New York for publication and it was an immediate success. Gregg participated in the Mexican war as a "gov't ag't, interpreter or what you please," then in 1850, he led a small exploring party across the Coast Range in California. Worn out by hunger and privation, Gregg fell from his horse and died at Clear Lake, California. - Wagner-Camp.The plates are as follows:Arrival of the Caravan at Santa F (frontispiece of vol. 1)March of the CaravanMexican Arrieros with an Atajo of Pack MulesIndian Alarm on the Cimarron River (frontispiece of vol. 2)Camp ComancheDog Town or Settlement of Prairie Dogs.
