FIRST EDITION of the posthumously published journal by the captain who came closest to the site where Franklin's expedition ended. "In 1849 Collinson was appointed to command an expedition for the relief of Sir John Franklin by way of the Bering Strait; he himself had command of the Enterprise and with him was Commander Robert Le Mesurier McClure in the Investigator. The two ships sailed together from Plymouth on 20 January 1850 but unfortunately separated in the neighbourhood of Cape Horn and did not meet again. The Enterprise passed Point Barrow Alaska on 21 August but the ice forced Collinson to return south and winter in Hong Kong. In 1851 he was again hampered by ice and in 1852 was frozen in at Cambridge Bay for the winter. In 1853 the Enterprise was caught in the ice at Camden Bay and there passed a third winter. She reached Point Barrow on 8 August 1854 after being shut up in the Arctic entirely on her own resources for upwards of three years. Of the many who had searched for Franklin Collinson came closest to the place where the expedition had ended. Collinson's addition to geographical knowledge on this Arctic trip was very considerable and would have been tantamount to the discovery of the north-west passage had this not been already actually achieved by the men of the Investigator" DNB.

First edition limited to 1000 copies.<br /><br />Carl Wheat's Mapping of the Trans-Mississippi West is a comprehensive and readable cartographic history of the American West. The first three volumes of the work are by necessity bulky and out sized to accommodate the many maps contained with their covers. These beautifully printed books present a truly graphic picture of the exploration and peopling of the vast unknown land west of the Mississippi. The author does not merely present a catalog of significant maps of each era but tells the exciting story of many facets of history that resulted in their making-of the hard journeys the hazardous exploits the motivation the mysticism the misunderstandings and the strange blend of fact imagination false geographic concept and political necessity which were consummated in the engraver's work. These volumes will provide exciting text for the casual reader and have become eminent source book for the student and scholar.<br /><br /><strong>Condition:</strong><br /><br />A near fine set.
