Fine condition. The document reads: To cash paid for expenses of myself and horses going from Plattsburgh to Ogdenburgh by order of Col. Pike on publick [sic] business. $15.42.

His expenses was [sic] to be borne by the public on his certifying the truth, Gen. Wooley will discharge the same. Z.M. Pike CO . Zebulon Pike was perhaps best known for his discovery of Pike s Peak, a 14,000-foot mountain in Colorado, which has since been named for him. He discovered the mountain while on a mission to find the headwaters of the Arkansas and Red Rivers in 1806. A first lieutenant in the U.S. Army since 1799, Pike was chosen for the expedition by General James Wilkinson, who had sent Pike only two years before to find the headwaters of the Mississippi. While he failed to find the source of the Mississippi (erroneously believing Leech Lake and Red Cedar Lake in Minnesota to be the sources), no one was any wiser until Lake Itasca was discovered to be the correct source in 1832. After his foray into the Southern Rocky Mountains, Pike s love for exploring got him into trouble when he crossed the Sangre de Cristo Mountains into the Spanish territory of New Mexico. The Spanish arrested and imprisoned him until 1807, when he was released and sent back to the U.S. When he returned, he brought with him newly gained, valuable information about the Southwest, information that was used to develop interest in trade and development of that region. A few years later, Pike was commissioned a Brigadier General at the beginning of the War of 1812 and was tragically killed on April 27, 1813, while leading U.S. forces in an assault on Canada.

Early bookseller's ticket of "Hugh Hammell's Cheap Bookstore" of Philadelphia on front pastedown. Tanning, some offsetting from plates. Text and atlas in very good condition overall, with the text volume untrimmed and appendix to part one unopened. Howes' "best issue" of one of the most important of all American travel narratives: the first edition of the report of the first United States government expedition to the Southwest, including an account of Pike's exploration of the headwaters of the Arkansas and Red rivers, the sources of the Mississippi River, and the Spanish settlements in New Mexico. This copy is in its original binding with the atlas bound separately, and is very unusual thus. Pike's narrative stands with those of Lewis and Clark and Long as among the most important early books on western exploration and as a cornerstone of Western Americana. "In 1805, Pike was given the difficult assignment of conducting a reconnaissance of the upper Mississippi region. He was ordered to explore the headwaters of that river, to purchase sites from the Indians for further military posts, and to bring a few influential chiefs back to St. Louis for talks. The trip was only moderately successful as a mission to the tribes, but Pike was able to convey important geographical information to President Jefferson and other Washington officials. On Pike's second expedition, 1806-1807, he was assigned to explore the head-waters of the Arkansas River, then proceed south and descend the Red River from its source.Pike and his men were taken into custody by a Spanish patrol, and Pike was able to observe many areas in New Mexico, Chihuahua, and Texas.His book created interest in the Southwest and stimulated the expansionist movement in Texas" - Hill. The maps were the first to exhibit a geographic knowledge of the Southwest based on firsthand exploration and are considered "milestones in the mapping of the American West" (Wheat). "The description of Texas is excellent" - Streeter, TEXAS. This work was published in two forms: as a single octavo volume with all the maps and tables bound in, or, as here, in two volumes with the maps and folding tables in a quarto volume. This latter form was recognized by Howes as being the "best issue." It is quite uncommon to find the text and atlas bound separately, even more so to find them in their original bindings, as here. A very desirable set of a landmark work of western exploration. HOWES P373, "b." WAGNER-CAMP 9:1. STREETER SALE 3125. WHEAT TRANSMISSISSIPPI 297, 298, 299. GRAFF 3290. FIELD 1217.
