Trade paperback. Zustand: Very good. [6], 208 pages. Illustrations. Maps. Notes. Minor wear noted. This is a reprint of Lieutenant W. H. Emory's Notes of a Military Reconnoissance. William Hemsley Emory (September 7, 1811 - December 1, 1887) was a prominent American surveyor and civil engineer. He specialized in mapping the United States border, including the Texas-Mexico border, and the Gadsden Purchase border, and published lasting scientific reports on the border region. Emory was selected to join General Kearny and the Army of the West to take New Mexico and California. He kept a detailed journal of the march down the Rio Grande and across to the Gila River, and the Colorado River, then to the Pacific Coast. Published as Notes of a Military Reconnaissance from Fort Leavenworth to San Diego, it became an important guide book for the road to Southern California. This report described terrain and rivers, cities and forts. It is considered one of the important chronicles and descriptions of the historic Southwest. The present edition includes a facsimile. of the title page. of the Long edition and the text of that edition with minor revisions. Includes [6] maps of the expedition but no other illustrations from the original edition. Omits appendices published with the Senate and House editions. Many people love the American Southwest without truly understanding it. Ross Calvin did and we are the richer for it. He used his observational skills and intellect to fashion a picture that helped him and us comprehend those unique factors that make New Mexico what it is--its history, people, culture, climate, and so much more. Those lessons learned he shared with us. His books and essays help open our eyes to New Mexico. Paperbound edition [stated]. Presumed first printing.…

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. COL. 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".

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.…
