Hardcover. Condizione: Good. 1st Edition. This rare first Senate edition of Notes of a Military Reconnaissance by Lt. Col. William Hemsley Emory documents one of the most critical overland journeys of the U.S. Army during the Mexican-American War. Emory's detailed observations as a trained topographical engineer and naturalist w…hile accompanying the Army of the West offer significant early scientific data on the geography, wildlife, and Native American tribes of the American Southwest. The route Emory charted would later support the rationale for the Gadsden Purchase while also being a popular travel route during the California Gold Rush. Widely regarded as an essential foundation for any Western Americana collection, it includes 43 engraved plates, including 3 full-page maps of battles from the Mexican-American War. Handwritten signature of [Dr. L. McKraken] on front flyleaf. Octavo (8vo), single volume. Good condition; modern brown cloth binding is tight and sound without wear, while pages and plates show extensive foxing, though the text is legible, and wanting folding map. Collation: 416 pp. Illustrations: 43 engraved plates including 3 full-page maps; wanting folding map. Edition: Washington, Wendell and Van Benthuysen. First edition, 1848. References: Graff 1249; Howes E 145; Sabin 22536; Wagner-Camp 148-5; Zamorano Eighty 33. #31155. PHOTOS AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST.

Emory of the Corps of Topographical Engineers. The text is divided into two distinct parts : a narrative of the journey itself, combining geographical, logistical, and military observations, followed by extensive appendices presenting the scientific results of the expedition, including meteorological and astronomical observations, geological notes, and natural history data. A primary source for the history of the American Southwest. The plates provide early visual documentation of California, Native American populations, scientific observations, and contemporary military operations. The large folding engraved map, entitled Military Reconnoissance of Arkansas, Rio del Norte, and Rio Gila (dated 1847), is the cartographic centerpiece of the work. Compiled from original field observations, it provides the first comprehensive official mapping of the regions traversed by the expedition, integrating military routes, topography, settlements, barometric profiles, and tables of distances and elevations. The present example corresponds to the second and finalized state.

U S Geological Survey Bulletin 194 map (40" x 26 1/4"). Quarto (11" x 9") bound in red cloth with gilt lettering to spine. House of Representatives, 34th Congress, 1st Session, Senate Ex. Doc 108. (Howes E146; Wagner-Camp 291; Wheat, Transmississippi West III, 822 and pages 242-4.) First edition with this set includes three plates not recorded in Wagner-Camp and not found in all copies: a colorful "Map Illustrating the General Geological Features of the Country West of the Mississippi River" (facing page I:258); "View of Monument Mountain" facing page I:96; and "View Along the Gila (Cereus Giganteus)" facing the last text leaf in the second volume. The folding map in volume one is one of the foundation maps for the western United States and represents the culmination of fifty years of government explorations. Starting with Lewis and Clark, there were numerous official and unofficial surveys and explorations, all adding to the pool of knowledge presented here. While large sections are still labeled "unexplored territory," Emory fitted these fragments together with the information gathered during his surveys into a reasonably correct cartographic picture of the West. This map shows large, transitional territories of Nebraska, Kansas, New Mexico, Utah, Oregon, Washington and Minnesota. It was drawn by Thomas Jekyll under the supervision of Lt. Nathaniel Michler of the Topographical Engineers. Lt. Michler worked with his counterpart representing Mexico, Captain Francisco Jimenez, to survey between Nogales and Yuma including the area south of Arivaca. Condition: Modern cloth; intermittent offsetting and minor foxing, a few paper clip marks, one extraneous leaf bound in to second volume, a few leaves worn with tape repairs else very good.
