Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. 416 pages illustrated with 43 lithographed plates, including 14 botanical plates; 3 battle-plans; includes, in rear pocket, the large folding map titled "Military Reconnaissance of the Arkansas Rio Del Norte and Rio Gila." Octavo(8 ¾ x 5 ¼") bound in original publisher's brown cloth and paper spine label. Thirtieth Congress - Senate Executive No. 7, 30th Congress First Session. (Cowan page 195; (Cowan p.195; Graff 1249; Howes E145; Wagner-Camp 148:2; Zamorano Eighty 33) First edition. This is the second Senate issue of the book, with Emory's rank given as Brevet Major, and with slight changes in the spelling of the captions. In 1844, Emory served in an expedition that produced a new map of Texan claims westward to the Rio Grande. He came to public attention as the author of the Notes of a Military Reconnaissance from Fort Leavenworth in Missouri to San Diego, California, published by the Thirtieth United States Congress in 1848. This report described terrain and rivers, cities and forts and made observations about Indians, Mexicans, primarily in New Mexico Territory, Arizona Territory and Southern California. It was and is considered one of the important chronicles and descriptions of the historic Southwest, particularly noted for its maps. Emory was a reliable and conscientious cartographer. There is a story of testament as to Emory s dedication to accuracy that says John Bartlett his supervisor in the Corps of Topographical Engineers made him sign off on a misplaced boundary marker, creating a sweet revenge for Emory who replaced him as Head of the International Boundary Commission in 1855. So accurate were his maps that when topographical engineers were surveying possible routes for the transcontinental railroad the most Southern route did not need to be surveyed thanks to the outstanding work by William H. Emory. But William H. Emory did more than just map the terrain; he also made notes about the plant life as well as the people who inhabited the sparsely populated southwest. Notating the social relations of some of the Native American people, he wrote: Women, when captured, are taken as wives by those who capture them, but they are treated by the Indian wives of the capturers as slaves, and made to carry wood and water; if they chance to be pretty, or receive too much attention from their lords and masters, they are, in the absence of the latter, unmercifully beaten and otherwise maltreated. The most unfortunate thing which can befall a captive woman is to be claimed by two persons. In this case, she is either shot or delivered up for indiscriminate violence. Condition: Spine label worn and illegible, case repaired with Japanese tissue and cloth; a few damp-stains, some toning; map mended with Japanese tissue else about very good overall.

Marcy's Route from Fort Smith to Santa Fe; and the Report of J.H. Simpson of an Expedition into the Navajo Country; and the Report of Lieutenant W.H.C. Whiting's Reconnaissances of the Western Frontier of Texas 31st Congress, 1st Session, Senate Executive Document No. 64. (Sabin 36377, Howes J170, Wagner-Camp, 184) First edition. This volume combines several of the reconnaissances including the landmark one by Simpson of the Navajo Country.These were the first published reports that opened West Texas and New Mexico to travel and settlement. Simpson's report is considered one of the most accurate and complete descriptions of the Zuni and Pueblo Indians and he was the first to describe Chaco Canyon, Inscription Rock, Canyon de Chelly and Pueblo Bonito. (Early map to show the location of Fort Worth) The color plates are the earliest chromolithographs printed in as government report. Johnston was trained as a civil engineer at the United States Military Academy at West Point, New York, graduating in the same class as Robert E. Lee. He served in Florida, Texas, and Kansas. By 1860 he achieved the rank of brigadier general as Quartermaster General of the U.S. Army. Johnston was an engineer on the Texas-United States boundary survey in 1841; he returned to the area, was appointed chief topographical engineer of the Department of Texas, and served from 1848 to 1853. In the fall of 1856, Johnston was transferred to a depot for recruits at Jefferson Barracks, Missouri. In 1857 he led surveying expeditions to determine the Kansas border. Later that year, Davis was replaced as Secretary of War by John B. Floyd, a native of Abingdon and a cousin of Johnston's by marriage. He had been a former guardian of Preston Johnston. Floyd made Johnston a brevet colonel for his actions at Cerro Gordo, a promotion that caused grumbling within the Army about favoritism. In 1859, President James Buchanan named Johnston's brother-in-law, Robert Milligan McLane, as minister to Mexico, and Johnston accompanied him on a journey to visit Benito Juárez's government in Veracruz. He was also ordered to inspect possible military routes across the country in case of further hostilities. Condition: Recased and housed in an attractive custom enclosure else very good.
