Emory's Notes of a Military Reconnaissance

Item Details

Description

Heading:
Author: Emory, W[illiam] H.
Title: Notes of a Military Reconnoissance, from Fort Leavenworth, in Missouri, to San Diego, in California, Including Part of the Arkansas, Del Norte, and Gila Rivers
Place Published: Washington
Publisher:Wendell and Van Benthuysen
Date Published: 1848
Description:

614 pp. Illustrated with 64 lithographed or engraved plates, 3 battle-plans; 2 folding maps; plus some figure drawings within the text. (8vo), modern calf-backed marbled boards, spine lettered in gilt, new endpapers with faux-aging. The large House of Representatives issue.

A superb study, by topographical engineer and scientist Emory, of the lands newly wrested from the Mexican government. As Wagner-Camp notes, "his report was a major contribution to the geographical knowledge of North America... The report includes sections on the plants and animals, as well as on the geology and the prehistoric town sites and other archaeological remains. Emory's descriptions of the various Indian tribes that he encountered were steps toward the newly-forming discipline -Anthropology- concerned with primitive man." The larger House of Representatives issues of the report, of which this is the first (30th Congress, 1st Session, Doc. 41), to contain the reports of Lieutenant Abert, Colonel Cooke, and Captain Johnson as well as that of Emory. The two maps bound in are "Map of the Territory of New Mexico" and "Sketch of part of the march & wagon road of Lt. Colonel Cooke." The very large folding [Emory] map was not originally included with this House issue and is not present here. Cowan p.195; (Graff 1249); Howes E145; Wagner-Camp 148:5; Wheat Transmississippi 505 & 532; Zamorano Eighty 33.

Condition

Restoration to the rear of the Kearny map; some light wear to page edges, foxing throughout, one leaf (page 159/160) supplied in facsimile; very good in a fine modern binding.
