Sobre este artículo
Philadelphia: George S. Appleton, 1849. First Edition, Thus . Cloth - Hard Cover. Fair/No Dust Jacket. 614 pages. Ex. Doc. No. 41 complied by W. L. Marcy, Secretary of War and incorporating portions of Emory's "Notes of a Military Reconnoissance..." (pp 5-416); Report of Lieut. J. W. Abert, Examination of New Mexico in the Years 1846-'47" (pp 417-548); "Report of Lieut. Col. P. St. George Cooke of his March From Santa Fe, New Mexico to San Diego, Upper California" (pp 549-614). Although the title page calls for three large maps and over one-hundred engravings, there are 67 plates present, of which three are maps. There are no folding maps present in this volume. 43 of the plates are bound within the Emery report, and 24 are in the Abert report. Ex-Library with older library stickers on spine, and minimal internal markings. Paper spine label is worn, though lettering remains good. Hinges are broke, though volume appears previously reglued beneath spine covers and entire volume remains solid and tight. Small book plates, inked and penciled names on front end leaves. Blind stamp on title page. Foxing throughout, sometimes quite heavy. Most plate are affected at least a little by foxing, and some significantly so. Good working copy of this somewhat scarce configuration of these reports.

Sobre Lloyd Zimmer, Books and Maps
With more than 25 years of experience buying and selling out-of-print, collectible, and rare books, maps, and ephemera, I am now doing business from my home at 60 Poplar Heights Rd.; Chanute, KS 66720; U.S.A. by appointment only. I offer a selection of more than 5000 books of all genre, as well as more than 1000 maps ranging from 15th century to early 20th. All inventory is hand selected and believed to be of significance for the collector, the reader, the historian or the general book lover. Historically, I have specialized in Kansas and regional history, but also maintain quality collections of Natural History, Theology, Americana, Railroad, Travel and Exploration, Medicine, Art, and Psychology, Neurology, and Psychiatry. Fine bindings, plate books, signed and inscribed items are an important part of my collections. Smaller, though intriguing collections of other genre are also a part of my holdings. Appraisal, consultation, and collection development services are available. Please come and browse, talk books, and have a cup of coffee in a relaxed and book friendly environment. But for the convenience of both of us, please email or call first. Trade terms available and dealers are welcome.
