Hardcover. Zustand: Good Plus. First Edition. Octavo. 416 pages. 40 plates (includes 26 plates of scenery, 14 plates of botanical illustrations by Endicott). Three sketch maps. NOTE: Includes REPORT OF LIEUT. J.W. ABERT, OF HIS EXAMINATION OF NEW MEXICO IN THE YEARS 1846-'47 (pp. 417-548) 22 full-page plates; REPORT OF LIEUT. CO…L. P. ST. GEORGE COOKE OF HIS MARCH FROM SANTA FE, NEW MEXICO, TO SAN DIEGO, UPPER CALIFORNIA (pp. 549-563); JOURNAL OF CAPTAIN A.R. JOHNSTON, FIRST DRAGOONS (pp. 565 to 614). P. 454 incorrectly printed as pp.754. This copy ONCE a half-leather, but has been rebacked (possibly rebound) and reinforced in a sturdy, but amateur fashion with cloth over leatherette, with recent headbands. Minor foxing throughout, but really inconsequential and does not get in the way of enjoying this very solidly bound Reading Copy with supple, largely bright pages. Previously a non-circulating copy (given a rubber stamped impression labeled "In Treasure Room", to front pastedown and there being no circulating pockets, etc.) from Salem College, in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, and bears its bookplate to front pastedown endpaper. Further, there are numerous stamp impression throughout the book and to many of the plates, though mercifully, largely restricted to the edges of those images. Several manuscript signatures as well, and some lightly penciled bibliographic notes to front free endpaper. (NOTE: One of these very lightly penciled notes explains: ".Lacks the folding map of the Arkansas Rio del Norte Strip (illeg.).[and goes on to state] "Not Issued With All Copies". We suspect this is the case with this particular copy, as no indication is given of said map's presence, nor reference to same. Probably the House of Representatives Edition, with Lithography by C.B. Graham. (".in some copies the 24 plates in Abert's report were executed, in a superior manner, anonymously") (Howes E145). This copy is apparently one of those copies. One of one thousand of the special Senate issue, with Emory's rank given as Lt. Colonel. "That the House edition has priority is indicated by the fact that many copies were seemingly issued before the large map was available." Again, this copy lacks any rear envelope and gives no evidence of having contained the large fold-out map which came with other editions. In fact one reference within simply says: "See Map, 1845". Wagner-Camp 148; Howes E-145; Reese 103; Graff 1249; Etter 114; Zamorano 80-33. "Lieutenant William H. Emory was assigned to General Stephen Watts Kearny's 'Army of The West' in 1846, under orders to take possession of New Mexico and California. Emory's NOTES.became an important guide for emigrants in the rush of 1849.He also mapped the route of the Mormon Battalion over the Southern Trail and along the San Pedro River to Tucson and to the Gila Trail at the Pima villages. (Some ethnographic notes by A. Gallatin). "Emory went on to [further] explore the overland route to California and took part in the American conquest of southern California. The text is illustrated with some of the first American views of the far Southwest. NOTES provided goldseekers with valuable information by discussing various Indian groups, thus allaying fears about tribes the pioneers might meet along the way.it appears that the majority of emigrants had both Emory's book and map with them, and they all found their way by connecting with the various landmarks Emory so gracefully described." "December 16, 1847. Read, and ordered to be printed; and that 1000 copies, in addition to the usual number be printed for the use of the Senate.". ; Includes reports by Abert and Cooke. ("A preliminary Senate issue has a title page with Emory's rank correctly given as "Lieut. Col." and some copies have the large map in a pocket. Though this issue "has been described as the 'first issue of the first edition', Wagner-Camp claims this "is questionable" since there were different issues of the NOTES issued with or without maps, truncated report by Cooke, report by Johnson, several even with hand-colored plates, etc. According to Wagner-Camp, Plate VI, labeled "Baileya Multiflora" ("as in all House . copies"), is incorrect.

Good/No Jacket. 614 pp. Brown cloth, with significant wear to the covers, printed paper spine label, and scattered foxing to pages. The House issue without the large folding map is the true first edition. Overall, a good copy. First… edition, House issue. Emory's rank is given as "Lieut. Colonel" rather than "Brevet Major." Zamorano Eighty 33: "Emory's report contains numerous folding maps of the areas described, and 64 lithograph plates of views and of botanical and natural history subjects. It is source material for the Southwest and the Mexican border. A library of Western Americana is incomplete without it." Howes E145: "That the House edition has priority is indicated by the fact that many copies were seemingly issued before the large map was available.

"This is one of the most significant of all government reports on western and southern Texas." - Jenkins, BASIC TEXAS BOOKS, 57(A). "The scientific content of the REPORT, however, was of the greatest significance, and it equalled the findings of Fremont." - William Goetzmann. Emory's boundary survey was essential for determining a southern route for a transcontinental railroad. "Ten thousand copies were printed of th[is] first volume. Congress was upset by the enormous cost of the first volume, and printed only three thousand of the remaining two volumes." - Jenkins. "Part 1 has 12 fine colored plates of Indians and scenery." - Bennett, AMERICAN 19TH CENTURY COLOR PLATE BOOKS, p. 41. "Especially prized by Texas collectors for the fine plates of Texas subjects." - A FULL HOWES, 804].

Inscription an signature reads: "with the respects of J. Thompson". Jacob Thompson (1810 - 1885) was the Chairman of the Committee on Indian Affair (1845-47), the House of Representative member from Mississippi (1847-51), and U.S. Secretary of the Interior (1857-61) under James Buchanan. In 1861 he aligned with the Confederate Party and was forced to resign, with Horace Greeley denouncing him as a "traitor" remarking, "Undertaking to overthrow the Government of which you are a sworn minister may be in accordance with the ideas of cotton-growing chivalry, but to common men cannot be made to appear creditable." Thompson became Inspector General of the Confederate States Army, and was present as an officer at the battles of Shiloh, Vicksburg, Tupelo, and others, serving under Beauregard and Pemberton. Thompson first warned of the planned relief of Fort Sumter, and later was sent by Jefferson Davis to Canada to prepare subversive acts such as the St. Albans Raid and the burning of New York. After the war (and a brief time in England and Canada to allow tempers to cool), he moved to Memphis to manage his holdings and became head of the board at University of the South. Previous owner Lewis Cass (October 9, 1782 - June 17, 1866), who was gifted this book by Jacob Thompson (who presumably had Cass' name printed on the front board) was an American military officer, politician, and statesman. He represented Michigan in the United States Senate and served in the Cabinets of two U.S. Presidents, Andrew Jackson and James Buchanan. He was also the 1848 Democratic presidential nominee. In addition to being a slave owner, Cass also played a large role in the "Indian Removal" agenda.
