186643052Washington D.C.: n.p. 1866. First edition. A very good copy with inch marginal closed tear light soiling faint marginal stain. Broadside. 6 x 9 1/2 inches. Michigan senator Jacob Merritt Howard 1805-1871 who had worked closely with Lincoln in drafting and passing the Thirteenth Amendment was a strong supporter of his measures including "emergency actions during the secession crisis and advocated 'severe exemplary and speedy punishment of the rebels. He was especially vocal on all matters pertaining to the confiscation of rebel property and the emancipation of slaves. He was also one of the most forceful advocates of the 1863 Conscription Act" ANBO. His ire extended to trying for treason the Confederate leaders. In December he wanted to know why Davis had not been put on trial and now despite it being well-known that Davis did not have complicity in Lincoln's murder he declared in this resolution that Davis be "charged with the crimes of having incited the assassination of Abraham Lincoln President of the United States and with the murder of soldiers of the Unites States held a prisoners of war during the rebellion and other cruel and barbarous practices in violation of the rules and usages of civilized war." Clement C. Clay was also to be tried. It appears that Merritt's resolution never made it to the floor for a second reading as was required by law. Scarce.

Emory of the Corps of Topographical Engineers. The text is divided into two distinct parts : a narrative of the journey itself, combining geographical, logistical, and military observations, followed by extensive appendices presenting the scientific results of the expedition, including meteorological and astronomical observations, geological notes, and natural history data. A primary source for the history of the American Southwest. The plates provide early visual documentation of California, Native American populations, scientific observations, and contemporary military operations. The large folding engraved map, entitled Military Reconnoissance of Arkansas, Rio del Norte, and Rio Gila (dated 1847), is the cartographic centerpiece of the work. Compiled from original field observations, it provides the first comprehensive official mapping of the regions traversed by the expedition, integrating military routes, topography, settlements, barometric profiles, and tables of distances and elevations. The present example corresponds to the second and finalized state.

The front cover shows a lot of scuffing and soiling as does the rear to a lesser degree. The staples do show rust spots and the first page has small tears by the stapling as well as the check and a tear on the long edge.
