Mit 28 Tafeln (davon 2 gefaltet) und 6 zumeist gefalteten Karten. 172 S. Halblederband der Zeit auf 5 unechten Bünden mit goldgeprägtem Rückentitel. "For the Purpose of Obtaining all Information Which Will be Valuable and Important, Especially to the Military Branch of the Government." Made under the Direction of General Nelson A. Miles, Commanding the Department of the Columbia" - Die in kurzer Zeit vollbrachte Reise unter der Leitung des Leutnants Henry Tureman Allen (1859-1930) von der südlichen Küstenregion Alaskas zur nordwestlich gelegenen Bering See zählt zu den erstaunlichen Forschungsreisen seiner Zeit. In nur 20 Wochen durchquerte die kleine Gruppe (Allen, Cady Robertson und Frederick W. Fickett) eine bis dahin von Weißen unerforschte Wildnis und legte dabei mehr als 1500 Meilen zurück. Ziel der Reise war neben der Kartierung unbekannter Regionen eine aus militärischer Sicht geführte Einschätzung der indigenen Bevölkerung hinsichtlich ihrer Feindseligkeiten gegenüber zukünftigen Eroberungszügen weißer Amerikaner. Zuvorkommende Behandlung und Hilfsbereitschaft der Indigenen gegenüber den drei Fremden trug dazu bei, dass diese sicher durch Gebiete reisen konnten, wo andere zuvor gescheitert waren. Zwei Jahre nach der Forschungsreise (die unter anderem zu späterem Kupferabbau führte) veröffentlichte Allen seinen Bericht, den vorliegenden Report of an Expedition to the Copper, Tanana, and Koyukuk River, in the Territory of Alaska, in the year 1885". Dokumentiert sind nicht nur die die Flussregionen und ihre geographischen Besonderheiten, sondern auch die schon im Wandel (und Niedergang) begriffene Kultur und Lebensweise der Indigenen. Darüber hinaus beinhaltet der Report Beobachtungen über Flora und Fauna, vulkanische Aktivitäten, die Geologie Alaskas sowie meteorologische Datenerhebungen .- Ecken und Kanten etwas beschabt und gering bestoßen; unteres Rückenschildchen mit Riss; vorderes fliegendes Vorsatzblatt lose und mit kleineren Fehlstellen; Seiten gebräunt; die letzten Seiten mit kleineren Einrissen und kleiner Fehlstelle; Karten mit jeweils einem kleinen Einriss am Falz .
