First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. First edition, xv, 320 pp., octavo 22.5 x 13.5 cm., 65 plates on unnumbered leaves some folding. [Howes M 276; WCB 226:1; Graff 2675; Meisel III, p. 143; Rader 2346; Goetzmann p. 213; Pilling 2471; Sabin 44512] [The two large folding maps are MTW 791, 792]. Rebound in white cloth with quarter red morocco and gilt lettering, fine. They are, as always brittle on thin paper. There are numerous lithographed plates (some tinted) of views, botany, zoology, paleontology, geology, and geography executed by Ackerman. "Written by one of the greatest nineteenth-century American explorers, this is one of the most interesting accounts of an original exploration of unknown parts of Texas [Marcy] was the first Anglo-American to discover and explore Palo Duro Canyon and Tule Canyon. Marcy described in detail the little-known Wichita tribe and compiled the first Wichita dictionary" (Jenkins, 'Basic Texas Books' 135B). "[Marcy's] large map was an attempt not only to bring together information obtained from his own explorations, but to show the relation of that country to the areas lying to the north, south and west, as far as the Colorado River of the West. Marcy's map is one of the best of the period. No southern emigrant could afford to be without it" (TMW #791 & #792, Vol. III, pp. 15-16). Captain Marcy, "a veteran of the Mexican War who had made an 1849 reconnaissance from Fort Smith to Santa Fe, argued that the Red River, formerly an international frontier and now the boundary between Texas and Indian Territory, was too important for its source to remain unknown to the government. The War Department agreed and designated him to "collect and report everything that may be useful or interesting in relation to [the region's] resources, soil, climate, natural history, and geography." The Adjutant General also ordered him to remind any Indians that he encountered of the military power of the United States and the certainty of punishment if they continued to resist Anglo immigration and to determine whether the area could sustain a large Indian population and, if so, could they be induced to settle down and take up farming. He undertook the survey, noting that it was "remarkable that a portion of one of the largest and most important rivers in the United States remained up to that period wholly unexplored and unknown a 'terra incognita.' " "While Marcy was ultimately unsuccessful in finding the true headwaters of the Red, he did accomplish some of his other goals and, in the process, provided the first lithographic documentation of the unexplored and dramatic Palo Duro Canyon, in fact the first of the great southwestern canyons to be documented and published for a popular audience" (Dr. Ron Tyler reported by Dorothy Sloan).

First Edition
8vo. pp. 499, 6(ads). engraved frontis. portrait. numerous text illus. & diagrams (some full or double-page). original cloth (spine ends & corners frayed). First Edition. McClellan was a member of the board of officers commissioned to study the European military systems in 1855-56. He himself was to make a special study of the Russian army at large. Although they arrived to late to see much of the active operations in the Crimea, they were able to conduct a very complete study of the siege of Sevastopol. McClellan made a number of recommendations for improvements in the American service, notably proposing a new type of saddle, modeled on the lines of the Hungarian, which was adopted.
