‎Philadelphia: John Binns for C.&A. Conrad; Petersburgh: Somervell & Conrad; Norfolk: Bonsal Conrad & Co.; and Baltimore: Fielding Lucas Jr. 1810. 8vo 9 x 5 in. Modern cloth spine needs repair. Frontispiece portrait three folding tables and six maps five of which are folding and the map of the Mississippi on 2 joined sheets foxing and some browning heavier on prelims offsetting to engravings folding tables with closed stub tears. The first edition of the first government exploration of the Southwest with the maps and tables bound with the text in a single volume occasionally issued separately in an Atlas. In 1806 Pike led an expedition to the southwestern borders of the Louisiana Purchase. He had orders to explore the Arkansas and Red Rivers and to obtain information about nearby Spanish territory. It was on this trip that he tried unsuccessfully to climb the mountain peak later named for him. His party headed south from Colorado ending up in what is now northern New Mexico where they were stopped by Spanish officials and charged with illegal entry into Spanish-held territory. All of Pike's maps notes and papers became the property of the Spanish with the party escorted through Santa Fe across Texas and released on the Spanish-American border in Louisiana. Pike's published account of this last expedition with information about the weakness of Spanish authority in Santa Fe and the profitability of trading with Mexico stirred businessmen and politicians into expanding to Texas. He also helped establish the myth of the "Great American Desert" which slowed growth into the Great Plains.

Stipple-engraved India paper proof portrait frontispiece of Pike by Edwin 6 engraved maps 5 folding 3 folding letterpress tables. Contemporary tree calf boards rebacked in modern calf and retaining original gilt morocco spine label. One of the most important of all American travel narratives: the first edition of the report of the first United States government expedition to the Southwest including an account of Pike's exploration of the headwaters of the Arkansas and Red rivers the sources of the Mississippi River and the Spanish settlements in New Mexico. Pike's narrative stands with those of Lewis and Clark and Long as the most important of early books on western exploration and as a cornerstone of Western Americana. "In 1805 Pike was given the difficult assignment of conducting a reconnaissance of the upper Mississippi region. He was ordered to explore the headwaters of that river to purchase sites from the Indians for further military posts and to bring a few influential chiefs back to St. Louis for talks. The trip was only moderately successful as a mission to the tribes but Pike was able to convey important geographical information to President Jefferson and other Washington officials. On Pike's second expedition 1806-1807 he was assigned to explore the head-waters of the Arkansas River then proceed south and descend the Red River from its source . Pike and his men were taken into custody by a Spanish patrol and Pike was able to observe many areas in New Mexico Chihuahua and Texas . His book created interest in the Southwest and stimulated the expansionist movement in Texas" Hill. The maps were the first to exhibit a geographic knowledge of the Southwest based on first-hand exploration and are considered "milestones in the mapping of the American West" Wheat.

‎Philadelphia: John Binns for C.&A. Conrad; Petersburgh: Somervell & Conrad; Norfolk: Bonsal Conrad & Co.; and Baltimore: Fielding Lucas Jr. 1810. 8vo. 8 4/8 x 5 1/8 inches. Engraved frontispiece portrait three folding letterpress tables six engraved maps at the end including five fine folding of which two are charts of the "Internal Part of Louisiana" one map and one sketch of the "Internal Provinces of New Spain" and a "Map of the Mississippi River from its Source to the Mouth of the Missouri" some offsetting and browning one or two early repairs to verso. Contemporary half speckled calf marbled paper boards expertly rebacked to style extremities a bit worn with minor loss to the corners endpapers renewed. Provenance: Contemporary partially obscured ownership inscription on title-page; near contemporary ownership inscription of James Storey at the head of the title-page; 19th-century ink stamp of John G. Michener on the first page of text. First edition of the first U.S. government exploration of the Southwest. This edition contains the first appearance in print of the first maps of the Southwest to be based on firsthand exploration. The Louisiana Purchase was one of Thomas Jefferson's crowning achievements and in the following four years he commissioned a number of expeditions to explore the largely unknown territory. In 1804 Lewis and Clark ventured westward from St. Louis; Sibley Dunbar and Freeman explored the Spanish border region in Texas; and in 1806 Pike went to explore the southernmost border region north of New Spain. His orders were to explore the Arkansas and Red Rivers but by February of 1807 he had reached the upper reaches of the Rio Grande having missed the Red River entirely: "Spanish authorities learned of his presence and sent a force to arrest him and his men. They were taken to Santa Fe and then sent on to Chihuahua. Pike's maps and papers were confiscated but he managed to retain his diary and journals by secreting them in the gun barrels of his men. Apparently he was able to convince the Spaniards that he had entered New Spain by accident as he was escorted by armed guard through Texas via San Antonio to the Sabine where he was released. He arrived at Natchioches in June 1807 having thus had the opportunity to examine New Mexico and Texas in some detail at the expense of the Spanish government." Jenkins. "In the hierarchy of significant westward expeditions that of Lieutenant Zebulon Montgomery Pike 1779-1813 ranks right below that of Lewis and Clark. While his was not the first official reconnaissance of the west he provided 'the earliest official geographical image of the trans-Mississippi West'. Pike's map and journal.provided the first authentic information about the Upper Mississippi. On the Conejos River an effluent of the Rio Grande well into Spanish territory Pike boldly constructed a fort. It was at this fort that he was arrested and taken first to Santa Fe and then to Chihuahua for a meeting with Don Nemesio Salcedo the governor of New Spain. The authorities confiscated among other documents a manuscript map of the Santa Fe Trail. While in custody of the Spanish Pike learned 'just how many and what kind of troops the Spanish had on hand to defend the northern provinces' according to William Goetzmann 'and he was well informed on the character and personalities of all the Spanish military leaders. No more successful espionage operation has ever been conducted in recorded American history.' Pike returned from captivity without his sketch maps making the creation of his own map more difficult. He had managed to smuggle traverse tables in the rifle barrels that he and his men were allowed to take with them after being released. These tables enabled him to reconstruct parts of the upper Arkansas and to his credit his map is the first to accurately delineate the Arkansas and its tributaries. Nevertheless large sections of 'A Chart of the Internal Part of Louisiana' 1810 were based on Alexander von Humboldt's map . It is paradoxical that Pike who had actually explored the internal part of Louisiana relied on the cartography of Humboldt who had never been there" Cohen. "Pike has been suspected of complicity with the Aaron Burr conspiracy to establish an empire in the Southwest carved from the Spanish provinces of northern Mexico and the western United States but no firm evidence supports those charges. He remained however outspoken in his resistance to the democratization of the army during the Thomas Jefferson administration. Pike published the journals of his explorations in 1810 supplemented with his correspondence with General Wilkinson his speeches to the Indians and detailed descriptions of the land through which he traveled as An Account of Expeditions to the Sources of the Mississippi and through the Western Parts of Louisiana. Appearing as it did four years before the publication of the journals of Lewis and Clark Pike's book provided the American public with its first written description of the trans-Mississippi West. He was killed in action at the storming of York now Toronto Canada on April 27 1813 when the enemies' powder magazine exploded" Handbook of Texas Online. The publication of Pike's reports of the area now occupied by Texas Arkansas and New Mexico encountered similar difficulties to those of Lewis and Clark of their expedition and did not appear in print until three years after Pike's return. However they were well received and the favorable reports of Texas as "one of the richest most prolific and best watered countries in North America" did much to encourage further exploration and expansion.
