Stipple-engraved India paper proof portrait frontispiece of Pike by Edwin 6 engraved maps 5 folding 3 folding letterpress tables. Contemporary tree calf boards rebacked in modern calf and retaining original gilt morocco spine label.<br/> <br/>One of the most important of all American travel narratives: the first edition of the report of the first United States government expedition to the Southwest including an account of Pike's exploration of the headwaters of the Arkansas and Red rivers the sources of the Mississippi River and the Spanish settlements in New Mexico.<br/> <br/>Pike's narrative stands with those of Lewis and Clark and Long as the most important of early books on western exploration and as a cornerstone of Western Americana. "In 1805 Pike was given the difficult assignment of conducting a reconnaissance of the upper Mississippi region. He was ordered to explore the headwaters of that river to purchase sites from the Indians for further military posts and to bring a few influential chiefs back to St. Louis for talks. The trip was only moderately successful as a mission to the tribes but Pike was able to convey important geographical information to President Jefferson and other Washington officials. On Pike's second expedition 1806-1807 he was assigned to explore the head-waters of the Arkansas River then proceed south and descend the Red River from its source . Pike and his men were taken into custody by a Spanish patrol and Pike was able to observe many areas in New Mexico Chihuahua and Texas . His book created interest in the Southwest and stimulated the expansionist movement in Texas" Hill. The maps were the first to exhibit a geographic knowledge of the Southwest based on first-hand exploration and are considered "milestones in the mapping of the American West" Wheat.
