Cowan64 p.36 Wagner-Camp 234:1 Graff 198. 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 Hildalgo 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 books

There is also a Profile Map of Pipe Line from Great Notch Reservoir to New York foldout with 7 panels in color. The table of illustrations also calls for a Profile showing Completed Tunnel Working in Heading No 1. No 2. Sectional View showing the beginning of Construction of the Tunnel and Sectional Views of Tunnel and Pipe Lines. Although this is listed on 4 lines in the text there are in fact 2 full page plates highlighting the tunnel headers labeled No 1 and No 2 and 2 sections of the Hudson tunnel labeled No 3 and No 4. The following page is a foldout in 3 sections highlighting the Profile of the Hudson River Tunnel with Water Conduit from Jersey City to New York across the top with a cutaway of the tunnel to scale on the Jersey City side and 3 smaller illustrations showing the interior of the air lock springing the arch and putting up the plate sections. These illustrations are numbered No 5 through No 9. While far from clear given the layout of the illustrations table this section also appears complete. Several of these illustrations appear to have been reprinted from the Scientific American NY. One plate fold is torn about 3 inches. The "Large Map of Croton and Passaic Water-sheds" called for in the table of illustrations is not present as is true in the only other copy we've seen. The book is otherwise complete. 2 - title page iv A-D 1-117 pages. Hard Cover. John R. Bartlett and Associates unknown books
