Sobre este artículo
Washington: Beverley Tucker, 1855-59; George W. Bowman, 1861 and Thomas H. Ford 1860. Quarto. 12 Volumes in 13. As stated by Wagner-Camp, these reports were printed as they were received. There is no overall system or arrangement, nor are there general indices to the volumes, and as Camp has pointed out, there is the usual duplication of print and lithography by both houses of Congress. Some of the published volumes were lacking plates; others have a few duplicate plates. Of course, these faults are amply compensated by the richness of the material within and with illustrations that show the beauty found in the land, animals and its people of the mysterious American West during this period. A highly significant and monumental work. All uniformly bound in publishers in black cloth, decoratively stamped in blind, spines rebacked, renewing endpapers, lettering gilt, some corners bumped, some scattered foxing or toning to black and white plates, volume ii is an ex-library copy dated 1861. [Wagner-Camp-262; Wheat, Mapping the Trans Mississippi West IV, pp. 67-91] Full collation sent on request.
