Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Fair. Illustrated by Warre, Captain H.J. (illustrator). First Edition. "John Palliser, a lively Irishman, set out a hundred years ago in command of an expedition to explore the vast land that is now western Canada. The expedition's purpose was to determine whether the country was suitable for settlement, and whether it could be linked with the British colony on the St. Lawrence, and with the Pacific Coast. They studied the difficult British route by river, lake, and portage from Lake Superior to Red River. They travelled by horse, Red River cart, snow-shoe, and dog train over wide stretches of the unpeopled prairie between Red River and the Rocky Mountains. They searched for practicable passes through the mountains; among those they put on record are the Kicking Horse Pass and Vermilion Pass." - dust jacket. x, 310 p. Index. Maps.

"Made in 1845, when war between England and the United States over the Oregon boundary seemed imminent, this trip by Capt. Warre across the northern Rockies to Puget Sound must have had some military purpose a better fate attended the views he had painted and were here magnificently reproduced; they remain the only western color-plates comparable in beauty to those by Bodmer accompanying Maximilian's Travels. The dedication forming prelim. pages 3 and 4 was not issued in all copies." Howes, p. 615, W-114; Sabin 101455; Wagner-Camp 157.
