In den WarenkorbHardcover. Zustand: Very Good. First edition, Senate issue. 693pp. Octavo [23.5 cm] Decoratively embossed brown cloth over boards, with a gilt stamped title on the spine. Spine and joints skillfully restored. Extremities moderately rubbed. Underlying boards exposed at the corners. Front free endpaper beginning to detach at the h…ead. Pages intermittently lightly foxed and darkened. Some uncut pages at the rear. Folding map at p. 132 has a 5" closed tear. Botanical plate at p. 312 trimmed close at fore-edge. A couple of the Fossil and Botany plates are out of order, however all are present. Complete. The second volume consists of the large map housed in a plain brown thick card clamshell (does not quite close completely) and slipcase. Title printed on the spine of the slipcase in black. The map is in good condition only with a couple of large closed, creased tears along with a handful of small splits to the folds. The tears measure approximately 18 inches long. Senate 174, 28th Congress, 2d Session. With 22 single-sided plates and 5 maps, including the large folding map by Charles Preuss. Preuss's large map of the west is one of the most fascinating government maps of the 1840's, filling in many of the gaps in the cartographic understanding of the west. John Fremont's expeditions of 1842 and 1843-44 were the most spectacular reconnaissance of the American West since Lewis and Clark. Performed under the auspices of the Army Bureau of Topographical Engineers, the expedition's published reports and maps brought a factor of dependability and trustworthiness that would aid American settlement of the West. Fremont's report contained the most detailed observations of the western territories at the time. The country covered by the report was previously terra incognito--Brigham Young is said to have used the report as a guide in bringing the Mormon people West. Utah was then part of Mexico and would first become Deseret and then Utah territory. One of the seminal works for any western or Utah collector. Wright Howes F-372 (Senate Issue). Wagner/Camp 115.1. Zamorano Eighty: 39. Moffat 12 (Large map).

Lieut. G.K. Warren, in his 1859 memoir wrote that Preuss's 'skill in sketching topography in the field and in representing it on the map has probably never been surpassed in this country.' ".The Senate had issued this map separately in 1846; now the House was trying to make available to the Forty-0niners what was by far the best trail map of them all.this treasure was so deeply buried in this report that but few gold seekers found it, and it is still so rare in both editions that Wheat lamented that it ' has been insufficiently appreciated by students of Western history.' ."

In den WarenkorbSoft cover. PREUSS, Charles (1803-1854). Topographical Map of the Road from Missouri to Oregon Commencing at the Mouth of the Kansas in the Missouri River and Ending at the Mouth of the Wallah Wallah in the Columbia . From the field notes and journal of Capt. J. C. Frémont. Baltimore: E. Weber &Co., 1846. One map on 7 lithograph…ed sheets (each 16 x 26 inches), joined at right edge by a single paper guard and plastic tape (old folds, some browning and a bit thumbed, last map reinforced with plastic tape at folds, archival hangers added to the right edge). Provenance: from the Enoch Pratt Free Library, 1937, with their ink library stamps, and annotations to the first map. The celebrated cartographer Charles Preuss first issued a map of this area to accompany Fremont's "A Report of the Exploring Expedition to Oregon and California" (1845). Fremont's report, written with the help of his wife Jessie Benton, and Preuss's map "changed the entire picture of the West [and] represented as important a step forward from the earlier western maps of the period as did those of Pike, Long, and Lewis and Clark in their day. [Preuss's map] represented trustworthy direct observation, a new, welcome, and long overdue development in the myth-encrusted cartography of the West. This map marked not only the end but the beginning of an era" (Wheat). The Frémonts' account of the journey, 'A Report of the Exploring Expedition to Oregon and California . . .' (1845), enthralled the nation. Skillfully combining adventure, scientific data, and detailed practical information for emigrants, supplemented by a valuable map prepared by expedition cartographer Charles Preuss, it was "monumental in its breadth--a classic of exploring literature" (William H. Goetzmann, Exploration and Empire [1966], p. 248). This new, and much enlarged map, was commissioned by the Senate of the United States, and reproduces the area in much greater detail. It "was a road guide for Oregon emigrants such as had never previously existed. The purview of each section is quite narrowly limited to the emigrant road, but the topography is developed in rather more detail than on the parent map. Owing to its rarity and to its having long stood in the shadow of the much more widely known and distributed Fremont map of 1845, Preuss's sectional map of 1846 has been insufficiently appreciated by students of Western history." (Wheat). The individual sections of this magnificent map are: Section I: The map begins in the east at Westport, Kansas (now known as Kansas City), the departure point for the Oregon Trail, and ends in southern Nebraska at the crossing to Platte river. The "Remarks" on the maps state: "This section abounds with grass, water and fuel so that emigrants may encamp almost anywhere. (3). Elk and deer, the only game, are very scarce." Section II: Begins near present-day Marquette, Nebraska, and goes as far as present day Ogallala, Nebraska. The "Remarks" state that "Timber is extremely scarce., except on the islands. Some driftwood and Buffalo excrement makes the fuel, as that of the camels does in the deserts of Arabia". Several quotes from Fremont's report are included in the margins: "Buffalo swarming in immense numbers over the plains, where they had left scarcely a blade of grass. Indians and buffalo make the poetry and life of the prairie, and our camp was full of their exhilaration". Section III: Begins near Sidney, Nebraska (near the Colorado border), and goes to what is now Casper, Wyoming. Remarks state that the "Sioux Indians are not to be trusted". Fort Laramie is shown, and the remarks point out that there is very little game to 50 miles either side of the station: "If it is in contemplation to keep open the communications with Oregon Territory, a show of military force in this country is absolutely necessary and a combination of atvantages [sic] renders the neighborhood of Fort Laramie the most suitable place on the line of the Platte for the establishment of a military po.

In den WarenkorbFirst issue of the first map "to show the Oregon Trail accurately with great detail" (Rumsey); "An extraordinary map by a master cartographer" (Graff). "Used by many of the overland trail parties, and published only three years before the gold rush, it was based on the 1,670 mile journey of 1842-3 lead by John Charles Fremont, f…rom the Missouri to the Columbia Rivers, by the cartographer Charles Preuss. "This valuable overland guide map must not be confused with those found in Fremont's reports. Preuss was topographer on the "Pathfinder's" first Fremont expedition and herein records the daily stopping places with notes on the country, water, wood, game, Indians, and other subjects of interest or reasons for caution along the way. Each of the seven map-sections has its own separate title together with observations and extracts from Fremont's Report relevant to the portion of the route depicted." One of the observations pertains to the Great Salt Lake: "one of the wonders of nature, and perhaps without a rival in the world". There was a second issue of this map, contained in the 1849 Rockwell report. This is the original 1846 separate issue, with the lithographer's imprint (E. Weber & Co., Baltimore) present, sheets III and VI properly numbered, etc. The maps follow the following route - Section I: Kansas; Section II, Nebraska; Section VI (i.e. Section III) Nebraska & Wyoming; Section IV Wyoming & Idaho; Section V Wyoming & Idaho; Section III (i.e. Section VI): Idaho; Section VII: Idaho, Oregon & Washington. Seven uncolored lithographed sheets bound together at the right margin. The sheets are bright and clean, in remarkably good condition with two old folds, one horizontal & one vertical. With a light water mark at the bottom right hinge, only lightly affecting a couple of images. At some stage, a diagonal slit traversing the verso of the first three sheets has been expertly repaired with Japanese tissue paper, so well done that it is barely detectable on the front.

In den WarenkorbHardcover. Zustand: Good. 1st Edition. Good. Contemporary cloth binding. Provenance - from Glasgow University Library, with the stamp sized coat of arms pasted beside the title of each map, as pictured. The map is paper and has a few splits to creases and the occasional hole to corners where creases intersect, all as pictured. I…n 1852, Stansbury was ordered to travel from Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, to survey the Great Salt Lake in Utah, evaluate emigration trails, especially in Oregon and Mormon trails, and to scout for possible locations for a transcontinental railroad. The expedition consisted of 18 men including his second in command Lieutenant John Williams Gunnison. Over the few years to follow the expedition covered the Great Salt Lake, Utah Lake and Cache Valley of northern Utah all the way to Fort Hall in Southern Idaho. Stansbury's seminal 1852 map of the Great Salt lake region in Utah is considered to be the first accurate survey of the Great Basin as well as a cornerstone achievement in the mapping of the American West.

In den WarenkorbSeven folded maps. Folio. First edition. First edition. Seven folded maps. Folio. First issue of the first map "to show the Oregon Trail accurately" (Rumsey). One of the greatest monuments to the cartography of the American West. Charles Preuss, born George Karl Ludwig Preuss in Höhscheid, Prussia in 1803, served as the cartogra…pher on Fremont's first and second expeditions and drew all of the maps which accompany Fremont's reports. Preuss also produced the present masterful map of the Oregon Trail. It is drawn to a very detailed scale, ten miles to an inch, and in addition to providing accurate cartographical information about the whole of the 1,670-mile route between the Missouri and the Columbia rivers, the sheets combine to give a real feeling of the daily progress of the expedition (in 1842 and 1843, between June 10 and Oct. 26) by including indicators of where and when each overnight camp was set, where each noon-day halt was called, and the total distance from the starting point of Westport Landing. Longitudinal and latitudinal coordinates are also given, as are daily "Meteorological Observations" and "Remarks," including notes on the availability of game, water, grazing, and the friendliness (or otherwise) of local Indian tribes. "More than any other persons, John Charles Fremont and Charles Preuss dominate the cartography of the American West during the three years before the gold rush.Owing to its rarity and to its long having stood in the shadow of the more widely known and distributed Fremont-Preuss map of 1845, Preuss' sectional map of 1846 has been insufficiently appreciated by students of Western history. In particular, those interested either in Fremont's travels in 1842-43 or the revolution of the transcontinental wagon roads will find that the map rewards close study" (Wheat). This example a superb copy of the first edition (a second edition would be published in 1849), with the maps essentially bound en plano with only a single vertical centerfold to each sheet, rather than being folded to octavo size.

In den Warenkorb40pp. Octavo [21.5 cm] Previously bound with other material. Foxing to cover. Preuss's (1848, Senate) map present with restoration. The report of this third expedition of Fremont is uncharastically short, due to Fremont's court martial and resignation from military service. Nevertheless, it enjoyed great popularity since the dis…covery of gold was announced almost simultaneously with its publication. In fact, it is likely that the "El Dorado Gold Region" labels on the map were added at the very last moment before issue. The Preuss map contained here is one of the greatest cartographic achievements of the American West and helped to fill in the great unknown of the Great Basin and points farther West. According to Wheat "they constitute the only detailed reports ever made by Fremont on his expedition of 1845-1846; his journals subsequently were burned, and by the time he came to write his Memoirs he had forgotten nearly everything he did not remember incorrectly." The Preuss map also was the first to show the Mormon Zion (albeit wrong - the map shows the Mormon settlement at the northern shore of Utah Lake) and the first to use the name 'Golden Gate' in reference to the San Francisco Bay. Fremont described the work as follows: "The map has been constructed expressly to exhibit the two countries of Oregon and the Alta California together. It is believed to be the most correct that has appeared of either of them; and it is certainly the only one that shows the structure and configuration of the interior of Upper California." With this great map of 1848, John Charles Fremont passes from the Western cartographic scene. Wagner-Camp 150:2. Howes F368. House of Representatives 30th Congress, 2nd Session. Miscellaneous.
