Contact seller5-star sellerHardcover. 1st Edition. Single sheet (22 x 21 inches). Folding lithographic map with original color, tipped in after the "Accompaniment." (some folds strengthened on verso, but a FINE AND BRIGHT COPY of a fragile map). Original maroon morocco, covers elaborately decorated in blind, lettered in gilt within an elaborate border in…the center of the front cover. Modern quarter maroon morocco clamshell box. Provenance: Penciled presentation inscription from "John B. Colahan to his friend Joseph Trasel Esq. Lodge Hall Aug 5. 1846" on the front free endpaper. The rare first edition, and AN EXCEPTIONALLY FINE COPY of this important map of the West at a time of geographic discovery as well as political upheaval and change. As noted in the "Accompaniment.", Texas has recently been gathered into the bosom of the United States, and California is in limbo, "Upper California. This part of Mexico was declared independent in 1845. It has of late attracted much attention in the United States; a number of Americans are already settled in it, and many others are preparing to emigrate thither." Regarding Oregon, the "Accompaniment." declares that "the United States have an indubitable claim to the whole region of Oregon, from N. lat 42o to 54o 40', yet the government has several times proposed, from motives of accommodation, to adopt the 49th parallel of latitude as the dividing line.". Wheat describes the map: "In the Upper California portion, Fremont is carefully followed, while further north Wilkes is followed. The boundary (to be) with Mexico is imperfectly shown but Texas appears with the magnified boundaries, including Santa Fe, of the 1844 Emory. The various claims to Oregon appear. The "Accompaniment." is of particular interest, containing perhaps the clearest statement of Oregon and California facts that came out of the period just prior to settlement of the former's boundaries and inclusion of the latter in the United States." Cowan p.433; Graff 2841; Howes M685; Wheat Transmississippi 520; Wheat Gold Rush 29.
