Nicollet accompanied Fremont's 1839 expedition to the upper Missouri. He departed St. Louis on April 4 and arrived at Fort Pierre on June 12, with Etienne Provost and William Dixon (son of the interpreter at Fort Pierre, Baptiste Dorion). The present work is Nicollet's report of that event, although he died before the expedition was completed. His "Sketch of the Early History of St. Louis" appears on pages 75-92. The map, "Hydrographical Basin of the Upper Mississippi River From Astronomical and Barometrical Observations Surveys and Information.," is the first detailed modern depiction of the Great Lakes region and the primary source for the area at that time. "Earliest accurate map of the interior, from St. Louis north to the international boundary, and west to present central South Dakota.Nicollet's map.initiated the scientific mapping of the trans-Mississippi West by the War Department" - Schwartz & Ehrenberg. Also included is the catalogue of botanical specimens collected by Carl Geyer and described by John Torrey. This is the Senate issue of Nicollet's report.

No Binding. Condizione: Fine. No Jacket. Reduced and complied under direction of Col. J.J. Abert in the Bureau of the Corps of Topographical Engineers by Lieut W. H. Emory from maps published in 1842 and other authorities in 1843, published by order of the U.S. House of Representatives. Observations, Surveys, and Information from J.N. Nicollet were done in the years 1836-40 and assisted with in 1838-4 by Lieut J. C. Fremont of the Corps of Topographical Engineers under the superintendence of the Bureau of the Corps of Topographical Engineers and authorized by the War Department. This is the first accurate hydrographic mapping of the central United States. Very large engraved folding map of the upper Mississippi basin, paper measuring approx. 97 x 84 cm and covering a large geographical area from St. Louis in the south to Rainy Lake in the north; and from Madison in the east to "Pawnee Indian Country" in the west. Publication containg this map is [Howes N152], [Wagner-Camp 98], [Sabin 55257], [Graff 3022]. Nicollet brought from France the knowledge of how to use a barometer to measure altitude (hypsometry). Thus this extremely important map is the first fruit of this technique outside Europe. This map was the first detailed modern depiction of the Great Lakes region and the primary source for the area at that time. Goetzmann states that Nicollet's "Map of the Hydrographic Basin of the Upper Mississippi River" was "based on some 90,000 instrument readings and 326 distinctly determined astronomical points. With its overall regional concept of a 'hydrographic basin,' Nicollet's map and the accompanying report were years ahead of their time. Had he lived one more decade, Nicollet would undoubtedly have become the official government cartographer of the whole trans-Mississippi West". John Charles Fremont (1813/01/21-1890/07/13) was given a chance to serve with Nicollet by Joel Roberts Poinsett (1779/03/02-1851/12/12; for whom the Poinsettia is named) where he learned the basics of scientific surveying and exploration. Without the fame won as the result of this training he would not have become the first Presidential candidate of the Republican Party. Shipping: This map has been flat in one of my map cases for 40 years in an acid free folder. I will roll it in a large map tube so that it will lie flat again if unpacked soon. It was originally folded. Refolding is NOT recommended!
