1876895260551<p>Excellent condition but missing the original map that was originally included. 11 fine chromolithographic and 11 lithographic plates. Publication of this report was originally intended for 1861 but the Civil War intervened and prevented publication for another fifteen years. The expedition under Macomb went west from Santa Fe across northern New Mexico and Arizona to the Colorado. The whole drainage of the San Juan had been traced and the relationship of that river with the Colorado clearly established. More important they had also established that the Green River united with the Grand to form the Colorado. The entire maze of intricate canyon country had been threaded and its geography revealed for the first time. In addition Newberry was able to establish numerous stratigraphic columns and to trace the Triassic Jurassic and Carboniferous strata far out across the Colorado River. Newberry.introduced a new level of sophistication into the study of western geology.</p> Government printing office hardcover

182447632Vol. I has a large partial coloured map as frontis and Vol. II has 3 large folding maps in the rear The record of Franklin's first Arctic expedition fraught with hardship and tragedy constitutes one of the classics in the annals of travel literature. In all the party travelled 5500 miles overland and with the aid of canoes exploring the territory from York Factory to the mouth of the Coppermine River on Coronation Gulf east along the Arctic coast as far as Point Turnagain and back across the Barren Lands. Provisions were poor and scant and on the return journey many crew members died of cold and starvation; the young naval artist Robert Hood was murdered and another executed for the crime. The work also includes accounts by Richardson and Back of the last leg of the desperate journey across the Barren Lands. This edition omits the appendix on the natural history of the region and scientific observations on the aurora borealis and the magnetic needle. Arctic Bib. 5195. Sabin 25625. TPL 1249.
