A propos de cet article

First edition, expanded House of Representatives issue. Thirtieth Congress, First Session, House Executive Document No. 41. Octavo. 614 pages. Illustrated with 64 lithographed or engraved plates, three battle plans, additional illustrations within the text, and two large folding maps: Abert and Peck’s Map of the Territory of New Mexico and Cooke’s Sketch of Part of the March & Wagon Road from Santa Fe to the Pacific Ocean. The preferred House issue, substantially enlarged from the Senate issue to include William H. Emory’s reconnaissance with General Stephen W. Kearny’s Army of the West; James W. Abert’s examination of New Mexico in 1846-47; Philip St. George Cooke’s march from Santa Fe to San Diego; and the journal of Captain Abraham R. Johnston. A foundational geographical, military, ethnographic, botanical, and visual record of the American Southwest during the Mexican-American War and a recognized Zamorano Eighty high spot. This copy is preserved in an unusual custom burgundy leather and apparently rattlesnake-skin binding, ruled and lettered in gilt, with “Early Survey of New Mexico and California” lettered on the spine. The front blank bears a presentation inscription to Thomas L. Wiles, describing him as “one of God’s noblemen and my friend,” followed by a distinctive but presently unidentified signature. CONDITION NOTES: Scattered foxing and toning throughout, heavier on the preliminary leaves and certain plates. The folding maps exhibit creasing, localized staining, fold wear, and several small tears or separations. The custom binding remains attractive and structurally sound, with surface wear and some losses to the reptile skin. Please examine all photographs for the condition of the binding, maps, plates, and inscription.…
