Contemporary half calf and tan cloth covered boards, rebacked. Housed in a red morocco backed box. A landmark depiction of the West with superb plates, and one of the most important publications devoted to the Mormon emigration: with provenance to Brigham Young's daughter. "This elaborately prepared and illustrated book was published as a monument to the Mormon emigration to Utah, and as a means of attracting further emigrants. Piercy made a special trip to America [in 1853] to make sketches for the plates, which are some of the best western views of the period" (Streeter). The outstanding views show New Orleans, Natchez, Vicksburg, Nauvoo, Council Bluffs, Laramie, Fort Bridger, and Scott's Bluff. ".One of the most elaborately and beautifully illustrated of western books" (Howes). ".One of the basic sources of illustrated Western Americana of the period" (Taft). "One of the most illuminating maps of the West to appear during 1855.it shows Utah in all its glory. This is not only an important map in the history of Mormons, but is in every sense an important map in the history of the West, giving as it does a carefully drawn picture of that entire area" (Wheat). This copy inscribed by Brigham Young's daughter Maria Young Dougall (1849-1935) to her niece Leah Dunford Widstoe and her husband, John A. Widstoe (1872-1952), a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. It is additionally signed by prominent LDS Elder (and Maria Dougall's husband) William Bernard Dougall (1843-1909).

Lacking the tissue protectors. Scarce in any condition. A collection of engravings of the most significant landmarks and points of interest on the Route between Liverpool and Great Salt Lake City, such as "New Orleans," "St. Louis," "Camp at Keokuck," "Ruins of the Temple at Nauvoo," "Room in which Joseph and Hyrum Smith were imprisoned," "Wall against which Joseph Smith was placed and shot at after his assassination," "Council Bluffs Ferry & group of Cotton-wood trees," and "Great Salt Lake City in 1853." The book also includes portraits of prominent Latter-day Saints, including Joseph Smith, Hyrum Smith, Lucy Smith, and Brigham Young. Extremely high quality illustrations made from the drawings that talented young artist Frederick Piercy made along the trail. Bibliographer Peter Crawley states that "Route from Liverpool ranks as the most beautiful book published by the Latter-day Saints." Wright Howes refers to this work as "One of the most elaborately and beautifully illustrated of western books," and Carl Wheat called the Richards map "one of the most illuminating maps of the West". Wheat further declares, "This is not only an important map in the history of Mormonism, but is in every sense an important map of the West, giving as it does a carefully drawn picture of that entire area. Practically nothing is shown in the whole of New Mexico, including present Arizona, but for regions to the east, west and north the map is accurate and reasonably detailed." Wheat closes by claiming, "The map was excellent for the period." Originally serialized in fifteen issues starting in July of 1854, this impressive volume was the brainchild of young convert Frederick Piercy, and Samuel Richards, president of the Liverpool Mission. They envisioned a travel guide for English converts who wanted to make the trek to the Salt Lake Valley. Piercy (1830-1891) was a gifted artist and engraver whose beautiful work fills this volume. The overland journey of the Piercy party was made in 1853. Starting from New Orleans, the party proceeded up the Mississippi to Saint Louis and Nauvoo, back to Saint Louis, and then across Missouri and Nebraska to Wyoming, and over the South Pass into the Great Salt Lake Valley. The woodcuts and engravings that illustrate this work provide a rare visual glimpse of the overland trail and the Mormon trail west to the valley of the Great Salt Lake. Crawley 1070.
