Wrappers slightly and uniformly tanned acidic paper; a fine copy uncirculated. Keartland's field notes make this far more interesting than the 'List of Birds' title suggests. For example he concludes his account of the Nankeen kestrel thus: 'I took four eggs from a tree near our camp and was surprised to find the nest lined with pellets of camel dung. This is probably the first time this material has been used for nest-lining'.

182232323Philadelphia: Harrison Hall 1822. 8vo. 8 5/8 x 6 inches. 4 449-532pp. Engraved frontispiece plate after T. R. Peale depicting a skin lodge Kaskaias. Foxing. Publisher's lettered wrappers.<br/> <br/>Ephemeral announcement of the publication of the account of the Long Expedition to the Rocky Mountains.<br/> <br/>Major Stephen Long was the principal proponent of government-sponsored exploration of the West following the War of 1812. He travelled farther than Pike or Lewis and Clark and blazed trails that were susequently followed by Fremont Powell and others. The expedition travelled up the Missouri and then followed the River Platte to its source in the Rocky Mountains before moving south to Upper Arkansas. From there the plan was to find the source of the Red River but when this was missed the Canadian River was explored instead. The expedition added significantly to the earlier discoveries of Lewis and Clark and Zebulon Pike. Edwin James was the botanist geologist and surgeon for this important government expedition initially named the Yellowstone Expedition. In addition to his duties on the expedition James subsequently served as the editor and compiler of the official account of the expedition relying "upon his own records the brief geological notes of Major Long and the early journals of Thomas Say who served as the expedition's naturalist" Wagner-Camp. The present December 1822 issue of The Port Folio Vol. II No. 6 includes a full-page announcement on the rear wrapper advertising the publication of the first edition of James account of the Long Expedition. In addition pages 496 to 503 include a lengthy review of the work and the engraved frontispiece depicts a skin lodge of the Kaskaias after expedition artist T. R. Peale printed from the same plate as the engraving within the first edition atlas to the James account. Rare and ephemeral. Harrison Hall unknown books
