Two parts in one volume. 8vo., (9 x 5 4/8 inches). 12 fine folding lithographic maps (one or two spots, some light browning). Original black cloth (a bit scuffed at the head and foot of the spine). Provenance: Author's penciled presentation inscription to "Col. J. J. Abert with the compliments of Philip J. Tyson" on the recto of the first blank; signed by Abert (1788-1863), on the front paste-down. Second and best edition, one of 1000 copies for the author's own use, with added 34-page introduction ("Geology and Industrial Resources of California"), errata, index, and table of contents, otherwise the maps and sheets are the same as the first edition (31st Congress, 1st Session, Senate Executive Document 47, 1850). "Philip Tyson based this memoir on his personal observations of California during the summer and early fall of 1849. Tyson dated the report February 20, 1850. Wheat noted that this was "probably the earliest work of a true scientific research to emerge from the Gold Rush." Tyson, in his report, described his visits to the "canvass" city of Sacramento, Mormon Island, Coloma, Jackson and Sutter's Creek, and the general region of the Cosumnes and Mokelumne rivers. He was probably one of the first to realize that the Argonauts could have made more money by staying at home, and criticized newspaper reports as exaggerated" (Kurutz). The Senate ordered 5,000 copies printed, of which 1,000 were for Tyson's use. Tyson proceeded to add a new title page, an errata page, and an extensive introduction dated Baltimore, November 10, 1850. Tyson also renumbered the government-printed text portions in brackets. The purpose of this separate edition, as stated in the introduction (p. xvi), "is to call attention to some of the views expressed in the Report, to point out confirmations thereof by subsequent events, and to notice a few of the erroneous impressions that have been formed by newspaper writers and others in reference to California." Abert, an outstanding army officer, served in various capacities in the Topographical Bureau and War Department. From 1834 to 1861 as chief of the bureau he was responsible for initiating and guiding the topographical surveys of the American West, and the work of the topographical engineers. Thus Abert had an inescapable impact upon the frontier and the nation's evershifting borders, from east of the great rivers to the Pacific coast, and from border to border (Thrapp).
