Hardcover. Condizione: Good. First edition. John Wesley Powell's copy of Volume II of these 1853-54 reports, with his stamp faintly in purple ink on the title page. A good only copy with dampstaining throughout, but collectible in light of its owner, who famously would go on to survey and provide his own report on the Grand Canyon. These 1853-54 reports were issued somewhat haphazardly in 12 volumes, apparently as they were received rather than by region. Volume II contains the following: 1) "Report, by Lieutenant E.G. Beckwith, Third Artillery, upon the Route near the Thirty-Eighth and Thirty-Ninth Parallels Explored by Captain J.W. Gunnison, Corps of Topographical Engineers" (Gunnison was killed on the journey); 2) "Report of Lieutenant E.G. Beckwith . . . upon the Route near the Forty-First Parallel"; 3) Report of a Reconnaissance from Puget Sound, via South Pass, to the Mississippi River, by F.W. Lander, Civil Engineer"; 4) "Report of Brevet Captain John Pope, Corps Topographical Engineers, upon the Portion of the Route near the Thirty-Second Parallel, Lying between the Red River [the Colorado] and the Rio Grande"; 5) "Report of Lieutenant John G. Park, Corps Topographical Engineers, upon the Portion of the Route near the Thirty-Second Parallel, Lying between the Rio Grande and Pimas Village, on the Gila"; and 6) "Extract from Report of a Military Reconnaissance Made by Lieutenant Colonel W.H. Emory, U.S. Army, of the Portion of the Route near the Thirty-Second Parallel, Lying between the Mouths of the San Pedro and Gila Rivers." Among several of the later reports are botanical sections by Asa Gray and John Torrey. These are replete with nice line-drawing botanical plates. In the first Beckwith report, J.M. Stanley provides a series of beautiful vista illustrations in color of the Gunnison route. Near the rear are a fold out map and a fold out geological section depicting the stretch between the Colorado River ("Red River) and the Rio Grande. A contemporary binding of red cloth and quarter/corner leather, with five raised bands and gilt lettering on spine. Red marbled endpapers. Again, good only with dampstaining to all corners of the pages, top and bottom (see photos). The pages have some light waviness to them, but turn fine and are readable, the text itself mostly free of staining. Mottling on front board, wrinkle on rear. Rubbing to board edges and nicks to spine corners as one might expect for a heavy book of this age. Despite its condition, still a special copy--Powell's.The inclusion of the Colorado River in the fourth report in the volume would have ultimately been of special interest to him, and one imagines the example of these reports would have influenced his own.
