<p>John Russell Bartlett's Personal Narrative stands as one of the definitive published records of the American Southwest's geographical and cultural landscapes during the mid-19th century. Commissioned in 1850 under President Zachary Taylor Bartlett served as the U.S. Commissioner to the Boundary Commission tasked with surveying the new border following the Mexican-American War. His richly documented two-volume account published in 1854 by D. Appleton in New York includes extensive observations of the regions traversed and the peoples encountered particularly the Seri of northern Mexico whose vocabulary is partially preserved here. Bartlett's narrative is accompanied by an oversized folding map and numerous full-page plates depicting monuments cityscapes and the surrounding topography. Referenced by Howes Wagner-Camp Streeter Sabin Cowan and Abbey this first edition remains an essential cornerstone for scholars and collectors of Western Americana.
