With faults, and priced accordingly. FIRST EDITION OF ONE OF THE MONUMENTAL WORKS OF WESTERN EXPLORATION. This copy belongs to the PREFERRED SENATE ISSUE, containing the astronomical and meteorological observations that were omitted from the House issue and subsequent editions. Our copy is complete with all 22 plates and 5 maps, including the huge and justly famous 50" x 30" map (see below). "John C. Frémont's 'Report of the Exploring Expedition to the Rocky Mountains.and to Oregon and California' can only be described as one of the monumental works of Western exploration. Although preceded by mountain men and immigrants, Frémont opened the West to an entire nation. By accurately describing this vast territory from the Missouri River to the Pacific Ocean, his government report became the vade mecum of Manifest Destiny. Its words, maps, and pictures paved the way for future waves of overlanders culminating in the flood tide of the Gold Rush. Historians from Hubert Howe Bancroft to William H. Goetzmann bestowed upon the "Pathfinder" the highest praise for his accomplishments as a scientific explorer. The celebrated savant, Alexander von Humboldt, congratulated Frémont as a geographer and explorer and Brigham Young, the great Mormon prophet, read with keen interest his description of the Salt Lake Valley and its potential as a new Zion. Frémont, as he readily acknowledged, benefited from a superb supporting cast beginning with his wife and amanuensis, Jesse Benton Frémont; his powerful father-in-law, Senator Thomas Hart Benton; and his courageous and knowledgeable scouts and scientists including Kit Carson, Thomas Fitzpatrick, Alexis Godey, and Charles Preuss. His reports and those of his later expeditions made him a national hero and a charismatic symbol of American expansionism." (Gary Kurutz in Volkmann, Zamorano 80 catalogue). MAPS: 1.

Water courses and lakes highlighted in blue. Rumsey 1833 (House issue): "The large map of the west is one of the most interesting and beautiful government maps of the 1840s. It filled in many of the gaps in cartographic knowledge of the west. Charles Preuss was the cartographer." Wheat, Mapping the Transmississippi West, no. 497: "[Frémont's report and gigantic map] changed the entire picture of the West [and] represented as important a step forward from the earlier western maps of the period as did those of Pike,
