A propos de cet article

8vo., (7 4/8 x 5 inches). (Text lightly spotted throughout). Large folding engraved map of Oregon (a bit creased, one or two pale spots, short tear near the mount), and one engraved plate of "Basaltic Formations on the Columbia River". Original publisher's brown cloth, decorated in blind, lettered in gilt on the spine (worn at the extremities with minor loss, stained). Provenance: with the pencilled ownership inscription of Gerard Lounsbery of Kingston on the rear free endpaper Fourth edition, first published in Ithaca in 1838. Parker was the first Presbyterian missionary in Oregon where he travelled in 1835 with fellow missionary Marcus Whitman looking for potential missionary sites.

"Samuel Parker's 'Map of Oregon Territory' of 1838 represented a real advance, and was made from personal observation. Of it Wagner-Camp remarked that it was 'the earliest to obtain circulation which contains reliable information as to the interior of Oregon Territory. . .' On this map the North Fork of the Platte is shown, with the Sweetwater flowing into it. South Pass is not named, but the sources of the Sweetwater and the Big Sandy. . .are close together. Bear River is imperfect, but correctly flows into Salt Lake, while not far north, at the mouth of the Portneuf, is Fort Hall. The Yellowstone heads in Lake Eustis, but Lewis and Clark's Lake Biddle is now absent, and west of the crest of the Rockies is Jackson's Lake, under the Trois Tetons, finding its outlet in a stream that flows into Henry's Fork, and later the Snake. . ." (Wheat, Mapping the Transmississippi West, volume II pages 165-166). Howes P89: "Parker accompanied a fur-trading party, in 1835, from Council Bluffs to Walla Walla." Plains & Rockies IV:70:3.
