Colonel Cooke is PRESENT and attached toward the rear of the book. At the start of the Mexican War, Emory was selected to join General Stephen Watts Kearny and the Army of the West (1846) to take New Mexico and California. Along the way he kept a detailed journal of the march down the Rio Grande and across to the Gila River, and down it to its mouth on the Colorado River, then to the Pacific Coast. It became an important guide book for the road to Southern California. This report described terrain and rivers, cities and forts and made observations about Native Americans, Mexicans, primarily in future New Mexico Territory, Arizona Territory and Southern California. It was and is considered one of the important chronicles and descriptions of the historic Southwest, particularly noted for its maps. [wikipedia];Zamorano Eighty 33: "Emory's report contains numerous folding maps of the areas described, and 64 lithograph plates of views and of botanical and natural history subjects. It is source material for the Southwest and the Mexican border. A library of Western Americana is incomplete without it." Howes E145: "That the House edition has priority is indicated by the fact that many copies were seemingly issued before the large map was available.". Thirtieth Congress - Senate Executive No. 7, 30th Congress First Session. (Cowan page 195; (Cowan p.195; Graff 1249; Howes E145; Wagner-Camp 148:2; Zamorano Eighty 33) First edition. In 1844, Emory served in an expedition that produced a new map of Texan claims westward to the Rio Grande. He came to public attention as the author of the Notes of a Military Reconnaissance from Fort Leavenworth in Missouri to San Diego, California, published by the Thirtieth United States Congress in 1848. This report described terrain and rivers, cities and forts and made observations about Indians, Mexicans, primarily in New Mexico Territory, Arizona Territory and Southern California. It was and is considered one of the important chronicles and descriptions of the historic Southwest, particularly noted for its maps. Emory was a reliable and conscientious cartographer. There is a story of testament as to Emory s dedication to accuracy that says John Bartlett his supervisor in the Corps of Topographical Engineers made him sign off on a misplaced boundary marker, creating a sweet revenge for Emory who replaced him as Head of the International Boundary Commission in 1855. So accurate were his maps that when topographical engineers were surveying possible routes for the transcontinental railroad the most Southern route did not need to be surveyed thanks to the outstanding work by William H. Emory.

Green Cloth. Condizione: Minor Corner and Edge Wear. No Jacket. First Edition. This is a Senate document from the 30th Congress, 1st Session, Executive No, 23. 132 pages of text material, followed by twenty-four full-page lithographic plates and a large folding map. Plates show very minor brown spotting, confined mainly to the p…eriphery. The large folding map has two small closed tears and small areas of paper defect at left margin secondary to binding and folding process. The plates were probably drawn by Abert, lithography by C.B. Graham. The report details Abert's trek from Fort Leavenworth, along the Santa Fe Trail to northern New Mexico, and his return along the Trail. Several pages of Cheyenne vocabulary are included in the report. See Howes A11, Streeter Sale 168, Graff 5, Sabin 57, Wagner-Camp 143 Size: Octavo.

Full Cloth. Condizione: Good. First Edition. FIRST EDITION. House of Representatives Edition which proceeds the Senate edition. Title page mistakenly lists Emory as "Lieut. Col.". Original dark brown cloth with paper label title "New Mexico, and California, by Emory, Abert, Cooke, and Johnston". Contains some scuffs and nicks. R…ight spine edge is loose. Pages are age-toned and stiff with a few foxed. Includes wonderful pen and ink drawings in fine condition. Two fold out maps and three maps of battles in California with the Mexicans. Large fold-out map with 5" tear from inner margin affecting the map, "The Territory of New Mexico, 1846-47"; 67 plates. Page 454 misprinted as 754. 614pp. Overall GOOD minus condition. Extreemely scarce first edition. Damp staining to bottom corner throughout. Previous owner's notes on first page from 1929. Includes the reports of J.W. Abert and Philip St. George Cooke. Together they summarize the activity of the U.S. Army to the west of Santa Fe after the capture of New Mexico by the Army of the West. The first folding map is Philip St. George Cooke's "Sketch of Part of the march & Wagon road of Lt. Colonel Cooke, from Santa Fe to the Pacific Ocean, 1846-7." This shows the route of the Mormon Battalion from Santa Fe to the Gila River. The other, "Map of the Territory of New Mexico," was compiled by Lieutenants Abert and Peck after the conquest of New Mexico. Both are important contributions to western cartography. Abert's report includes material on the Indians of New Mexico and their languages. The Abert report also includes all of his views of New Mexico, the best group of early New Mexico views published. Wagner-Camp is in error in its collation of this edition, mistakenly calling for only forty plates, plus those of the Abert report. William Hemsley Emory (September 7, 1811 -- December 1, 1887) was an United States Army officer and surveyor of Texas. Emory was born in Queen Anne's County, Maryland, on his family's "Poplar Grove" estate. He attended the United States Military Academy at West Point, New York, and graduated in 1831. Assigned as a second lieutenant, he served in the Corps of Engineers until he resigned from the service in 1836 to pursue civil engineering, but he returned to the service in 1838.During that same year, he married a great-grandaughter of Benjamin Franklin, Matilda Wilkins Bache of Philadelphia. The couple would have three children. During his second stint in the army, he was successively promoted from lieutenant to captain and finally to major. He specialized in mapping the United States border, including the Texas-Mexico border, the United States-Canadian border(18441866) and the Gadsen Purchase (1854 -- 1857). In 1844, Emory served in an expedition that produced a new map of Texan claims westward to the Rio Grande River. He came to public attention as the author of the Notes of a Military Reconnaissance from Fort Leavenworth in Missouri to San Diego, California, published by the Thirtieth United States Congress in 1848. This report described terrain and rivers, cities and forts and made observations about Indians, Mexicans, primarily in New Mexico Territory, Arizona Territory and Southern California. It was and is considered one of the important chronicles and descriptions of the historic Southwest, particularly noted for its maps. Emory was a reliable and conscientous cartographer. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Hardcover.
