185429580<p>John Russell Bartlett's Personal Narrative stands as one of the definitive published records of the American Southwest's geographical and cultural landscapes during the mid-19th century.

John Russell Bartlett 1805-1886 a historian and linguist was appointed to oversee the United States and Mexican Boundary Commission to survey and establish the current boundary between the United States and Mexico in the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo and expanded with the Gadsden Purchase. The survey also determined the route of a southern railroad. Bartlett was also an artist and made illustrations of the southwest landscape. From Wagner-Camp ". Bartlett was a talented artist observer and reporter who contributed greatly to the knowledge of the geography and topography of the Southwest in his Personal Narrative. During three years with the Mexican Boundary Commission he traveled widely from central Texas to the Pacific Ocean and from Mazatlan to San Francisco. A contentious man and lacking perhaps certain administrative skills Bartlett succeeded in antagonizing most of his fellow-official on the Commission. Graff points out that "a number of incidents described by Bartlett have been differently interpreted by his associates. D. Appleton & Company unknown

In the mid/late 1840s he travelled extensively in the Balkans and Middle East. Bartlett travelled to all the places he drew unlike many of his contemporaries who worked up their pictures from sketches by others.
