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").
