Interior is toned but readable; some foxing, mostly to page edges; slight chipping to some page edges, does not impact content. Small bookplate from previous owner on first free endpaper, small number sticker on front pastedown. All 22 plates are present with 11 chromolithographic landscape views (all with tissue guards) , three other landscape views in black and white, and eight black and white plates with fossils. Plates are in very good condition with occasional foxing. Folding map that measures 36 x 30 ½ inches is bound in and in very good condition. Map has two tears where it is attached to the text block (neither impacts content) , slight toning, and a few small breaks at the intersections of folds. In 1859, Captain John N. Macomb led an expedition northwest from Santa Fe along the Old Spanish Trail in search of a route for transporting military supplies into Utah, eventually reaching the confluence of the Green and Grand rivers. Most of the text is J. S. Newberry's geological report. F. B. Meek contributed descriptions of Cretaceous fossils. Publication of the report was delayed until 1876 because of the Civil War. A fascinating report known for its detailed map and striking chromolithographic plates including the view of Shiprock that Farquhar called "one of the most pleasing of the scenic views made in that epoch."

Hardcover. Condition: Good +. First edition. 152pp. Quarto [30 cm] Original dark brown cloth with gilt title to backstrip. Front endpaper cracked along the hinge. Light internal foxing. Pp. 33-36 less wide than the other leaves. Tidemarks to terminal leaves and a half a dozen plates at the rear. With eleven color lithographic plates of scenery (all with tissue guards), three black and white landscape plates, and eight black and white fossil plates. Large folding map present at rear, with periodic tears to the edges and folds. The longest tear is split, measuring roughly 6" deep. This publication is considered by many to be a geographical continuation of the Ives report, although the gap of the Grand Canyon is not filled in. Newberry was the geologist for both expeditions. According to Farquhar, "The Lithograph of Shiprock is one of the most pleasing of the scenic views made in that epoch." Originally scheduled to be printed in 1861, the Civil War delayed the publication for fifteen years. Howes M179. Farquhar 23. Wheat 983. Moffat 61. …

Hardcover. 1st Edition. 4to., (12 x 9 ½ inches). Large folding lithographic map of "Explorations and Surveys in New Mexico and Utah. 1860" (slightly toned), 11 fine chromolithographic and 11 lithographic plates. Contemporary brown cloth, spine gilt (extremities a bit worn). Provenance: With the contemporary manuscript ownership inscription of "E. Z. Steeven, 1st Lieut. & Adjutant 3rd Cavalry." First edition. Publication of this report was originally intended for 1861, but the Civil War intervened and prevented publication for another fifteen years. The expedition under Macomb went west from Santa Fe across northern New Mexico and Arizona to the Colorado and "showed conclusively that no feasible supply route existed leading into the Great Basin from that direction. However, in the realm of geography and geology its implications were considerable. The whole drainage of the San Juan had been traced and the relationship of that river with the Colorado clearly established. More important, they had also established that the Green River united with the Grand to form the Colorado. The entire maze of intricate canyon country had been threaded, and its geography revealed for the first time. In addition, Newberry was able to establish numerous stratigraphic columns, and to trace the Triassic, Jurassic, and Carboniferous strata far out across the Colorado River. Newberry introduced a new level of sophistication into the study of western geology. Of Newberry it might be said that more than any other scientist since Frémont he had opened up new and unknown country to the civilized world" (Goetzmann, "Army Exploration in the American West").
