Sobre este artículo
Washington, DC: Senate Of The United States and printed by Gales and Seaton, 1845. First Edition. Very near fine in its original black, ribbed cloth covered boards with bold gilt text on the spine and blind embossing on the front and rear boards. A small quarto of 9 by 5 3/4 inches with a prior owner's book plate on the first free end page and very light rubbing to the cloth at the head and heel of the spine and with foxing to the first 20 pages of the text and the final 14 pages of the text. Without a dust jacket and probably as issued. 693 pages of text (with 17 unopened leaves). This volume includes the first report: An Exploration Of The Country Lying Between The Missouri River And The Rocky Mountains In The Line Of The Kansas And Great PLatte Rivers.(comprising pages 9 to 101). Illustrated with 2 one-page maps, 22 plates, and 3 fold-out maps including the large map at the rear of the book with the extraction ribbon still in place. This title is considered by Howes in his bibliography USIana, to be "quite scarce". Truly, one of the most important books of Western Americana as it provided a trail map for the great migration of miners of 1849 and settlers to follow. A splendid copy and one bearing the book plate of Louis E. Goodman, the Chief of the Federal Bench of San Francisco. (Howes, F-370; Graff, 1436; Sabin, 25845; Cowan, p223; Streeter, 3131)
