One coloured lithograph, sized 11.25 x 8.5 in. extracted from the original Explorations and Surveys volumes, a fine crisp copy. First edition of this view of Fort Vancouver, Washington Territory while future General Ulysses Grant was stationed there as a quartermaster Captain. The original survey was one of the most important and massive compilations of exploration reports and scientific data ever published about the Trans-Mississippi West. Published by the Federal Government at the urging of Secretary of War Jefferson Davis, and the result of numerous reconnaissance surveys of exploring four major routes surveyed for the Pacific Railroad -- these reports represent the first attempt at a comprehensive, systematic geographical exploration of the Western regions of America, and made possible the first reasonably accurate topographical maps of the West. Vols I & XII (parts 1 & 2) are still considered some of the best early sources of information on the Pacific Northwest, the Puget Sound, and the tribes of Washington Territory. Of the eleven official expedition artists, the most prominent is the renowned John M. Stanley (1814-1872) most widely known for his portraits of Native Americans and their way of life. Warren's Map of the Territory of the United States from the Mississippi to the Pacific Ocean (Vol. XI) was considered by Howe as the best cartographical work on the West up to its time, and was used for 25 years following as the definitive reference.
