U S Geological Survey Bulletin 194 map 40" x 26 1/4". Quarto 11" x 9" bound in quarter leather with raised spine bands and lettering in gilt with marbled boards. House of Representatives 34th Congress 1st Session. Ex. Doc. No. 135. Wheat TMW #1022 First edition with the scarce color geological map not issued in all copies.<br /><br />The folding map in volume one is one of the foundation maps for the western United States and represents the culmination of fifty years of government explorations. Starting with Lewis and Clark there were numerous official and unofficial surveys and explorations all adding to the pool of knowledge presented here. While large sections are still labeled "unexplored territory" Emory fitted these fragments together with the information gathered during his surveys into a reasonably correct cartographic picture of the West. This map shows large transitional territories of Nebraska Kansas New Mexico Utah Oregon Washington and Minnesota. It was drawn by Thomas Jekyll under the supervision of Lt. Nathaniel Michler of the Topographical Engineers. Lt. Michler worked with his counterpart representing Mexico Captain Francisco Jimenez to survey between Nogales and Yuma including the area south of Arivaca.<br /><br />The U S Geological survey Bulletin 194 was drawn by J.E. Weyss circa 1860. The map features the survey lines between Texas and New Mexico with good topographical detail. Information includes forts Raton Pass the Santa Fe and Albuquerque trails numerous explorers' routes Indian trails and more. The map is an interesting historical curiosity because it was not published when the survey was finished due to the outbreak of the Civil War. In 1902 the map was belatedly included in a Geological Survey Bulletin by Marcus Baker. Printed by the Norris Peters Co. Photo-Lithograph. It is a large and extremely detailed chart by J.H. Clark U.S. Commissioner.<br /><br /><i>Report on the United States and Mexican Boundary Survey</i> has been called "one of the masterworks of Western and American history." Published in the years 1857 to 1859 it was the official report of the U.S. Boundary Commission upon completing its work of surveying and mapping the United States-Mexico boundary. The boundary survey was a consequence of the U.S.-Mexican War and the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo which concluded the war on February 2 1848. The treaty transferred to the United States nearly half of the territory of Mexico and delimited the boundary. Some of the land was settled by Mexican ranchers and farmers but much of the territory was unexplored and to Americans it was an unknown land. Commissions from both the U.S. and Mexico began the survey and demarcation of the line in 1849. In 1853 through negotiation of the Gadsden Treaty the United States purchased additional territory that now forms the southern parts of Arizona and New Mexico. The boundary survey was completed in 1855 and the U.S. and Mexican commissions finished their maps in 1857 while work on the U.S. final <i>Report</i> continued for another two years. The U.S.-Mexico boundary <i>Report</i> was published in two massive volumes sometimes in three and its contents make up an encyclopedia of the Southwest. It presents not only the results of the boundary survey but also the results of the scientific investigations connected with the survey. Major William H. Emory a Topographical Engineer Chief Astronomer and fourth U.S. Boundary Commissioner oversaw production of the <i>Report on the United States and Mexican Boundary Survey</i>. Although the title page bears his name the <i>Report</i> is the work of many contributors. In all of the essays the illustrations are closely tied to the text. The geological reports in Volume I Part II contain twenty-two drawings and diagrams that illustrate the features discussed. The authors of the geological chapters are Charles C. Parry and Arthur C. V. Schott who both participated in the field survey and James Hall the influential state geologist of New York. The geological reports include a catalog of fossils collected during the survey. Most of the fossils are shells and they were collected mainly by Schott and Emory. Timothy A. Conrad a paleontologist at the Smithsonian Institution identified and described the fossils. Twenty-one full-page black-and-white plates were drawn by paleontologist Fielding B. Meek and engraved by John E. Gavit to illustrate the descriptions. The main chapter "Botany of the Boundary" is by Princeton University botanist John Torrey who identified and classified the plants of the borderlands naming and describing many new genera and species. St. Louis physician and botanist George Engelmann was dedicated to one group of plants the cacti. Similar to Torrey's chapter it lists and describes the cacti of the borderlands and names many new species. The chapter on fishes by Smithsonian zoologist Charles F. Girard contains forty-one full-page black-and-white plates. Some of the plates indicate that they were drawn by John H. Richard of the Smithsonian Institution and engraved by William H. Dougal of Georgetown D.C. They depict specimens that were collected by boundary survey naturalists. Spencer F. Baird assistant secretary of the Smithsonian Institution prepared the chapter on "Reptiles of the Boundary." It is illustrated with forty-one full-page black-and-white plates some of which are signed by Richard and Dougal. The report on "Mammals of the Boundary" was also written by Baird with illustrations drawn by J. H. Richard and R. Metzeroth and engraved by Dougal and Metzeroth. There are twenty-seven full-page black-and-white plates showing the mammals. The chapter on birds also by Baird contains some of the most appealing illustrations in the <i>Report</i>. There are twenty-five full-page plates all in color drawn by Baird and lithographed by Bowen & Company of Philadelphia. The pictures of Indians have often been reproduced. They are full-page color illustrations nine of them altogether. All are by Schott engraved on stone by Sarony Major & Knapp of New York. The nine drawings complement the discussions of Indian culture in the chapters on geography. Views of cities and forts built by Spanish and Anglo settlers further reveal border life. Ten of these illustrations appear in Emory's geographical essays. Most of them have no artist's signatures but at least two are by Schott and one is by boundary commission draftsman Augustus de Vaudricourt. The remaining ninety-seven illustrations are topographical drawings or landscapes the largest subject category. They appear throughout the geographical and geological reports. Most were drawn by Schott or by John E. Weyss although many are unsigned. They were reproduced by a variety of techniques including engraving on steel engraving on stone and woodcut. Several different individuals or firms were responsible for the reproductions. Made while the surveys were in progress the views by Weyss and Schott and the final boundary maps are correlated. They offer parallel representations of the topography the boundary monuments and the location of the line. Trained as scientists and engineers the officers of the Topographical Corps regarded scientific observation as an important purpose of their work. Exploration of the new lands acquired in the U.S.-Mexican War and discovery of their resources were goals as important as marking the boundary. Scientific discovery was the first step in the process of incorporating the region into the United States.<br /><br /><b>Condition:</b><br /><br />Rebound in quarter leather with marbled boards.

‎Playing Lawrence on the other side. Die Expedition Klein und das deutsch-osmanische Bündnis im Ersten Weltkrieg. (Ausstellung des Preußen-Museums Nordrhein-Westfalen in Wesel vom 26.10.2014 bis 25.01.2015).‎

‎Berlin : Nicolai 2014. 296 Seiten. Mit zahlreichen teils farbig faks. Abbildungen. Farbig illustrierter OKart.-Einband. 28x24 cm‎

‎* Die Expedition Klein und das deutsch-osmanische Bündnis im Ersten Weltkrieg sind weithin genauso vergessen wie der Krieg im Osmanischen Reich. Die Tatsache, dass Deutschland und das Osmanische Reich vier Jahre lang zusammen als Verbündete kämpften und die türkische Seite mit einer Todesrate von mindestens einem Viertel aller eingesetzten Soldaten eine der höchsten Verlustziffern des Ersten Weltkriegs aufwies, ist fast völlig aus dem allgemeinen Bewusstsein verschwunden. Etwa 20 Jahre nach seinem Orienteinsatz griff der Adjutant der Expedition, Edgar Stern-Rubarth, nachdem ihn die Nationalsozialisten aufgrund seiner jüdischen Herkunft ins englische Exil getrieben hatten, zur Feder und gab seinen Erinnerungen den Titel »Playing Lawrence on the Other Side«. --- Edgar Paul Stern-Rubarth (* 15. August 1883 in Frankfurt am Main; ? 26. Januar 1972 in London) war ein deutscher Journalist und Publizist. Edgar Paul Stern war Sohn einer jüdischen Unternehmerfamilie in Frankfurt. Sein Vater, Moritz H. Stern (1859?1922) betrieb hier eine Zigarettenfabrik, während seine Mutter Martha (1864?1912) literarisch tätig war und enge Kontakte zur Frankfurter Künstlerszene unterhielt. Edgar besuchte das Goethe-Gymnasium in seiner Heimatstadt und studierte in Frankfurt, Berlin sowie in Paris Romanistik und Nationalökonomie. 1916 wurde er mit seiner Arbeit über die Einflüsse Goethes auf den französischen Roman zum Dr. phil. promoviert. Ab 1905 veröffentlichte er Kurzgeschichten, Gedichte und Feuilletons u. a. im Simplicissimus, der Leipziger Illustrirten Zeitung und in der Vossischen Zeitung. Im Ersten Weltkrieg war Edgar Stern im Nahen Osten und an der Westfront eingesetzt. Er machte sich im Spätherbst 1914 mit der Überführung von 14 kriegsgefangenen Muslimen aus französischen Kolonialgebieten vom Senne-Lager nach Konstantinopel im Auftrag des Auswärtigen Amtes einen Namen. Das gesteckte Ziel, das rechtzeitige Eintreffen der Gruppe zur Dschihadproklamation des osmanischen Sultans im November 1914 aus propagandistischen Gründen, wurde dank Sterns Geschick erreicht. Er tarnte die Gruppe für den Transport durch Rumänien als Wanderzirkus und übernahm selbst die Rolle des Zirkusdirektors. 1914/1915 war Edgar Stern Adjutant von Hauptmann Fritz Klein (1877?1958), dessen Expedition zusammen mit arabischen Stämmen zwischen März und Juni 1915 auftragsgemäß die englische Öl-Pipeline am Karun sprengte und gegen die Entente gerichtete schiitische Fatwas in Kerbela und Nadschaf erlangte. 1917 zum preußischen Leutnant der Res. befördert, wurde Stern 1918 mit dem Eisernen Kreuz I. Klasse sowie mit der osmanischen Liakat-Medaille in Silber ausgezeichnet. 1917 schloss er die Ehe mit der in Rheydt tätigen Lehrerin Josepha Rubarth (geb. in Fürstenberg, Krs. Büren1883) im Kölner Dom nach seiner vorheriger Konversion zum katholischen Glauben. Ab Juli 1918 führten beide den Doppelnamen Stern-Rubarth. 1919 wurde er Chefredakteur bei diversen Zeitungen im Berliner Ullstein Verlag. 1925 übernahm er im Auftrag des Auswärtigen Amtes die Chefredaktion von Wolffs Telegraphischem Bureau, seit 1929 auch die stellvertretende Direktion. Diese Nachrichtenagentur fungierte als offiziöses Sprachrohr der Reichsregierung, in enger Abstimmung mit dem Auswärtigen Amt und dem Reichspressechef. Er war 1924 Mitgründer und später Präsident des Europäischen Zollvereins und wurde 1927 Generalsekretär der Deutsch-Französischen Gesellschaft. Stern-Rubarth setzte sich an der Seite Gustav Stresemanns und Aristide Briands für die deutsch-französische Verständigung ein. 1933 erfolgte die Entlassung Stern-Rubarths als Chefredakteur und der Ausschluss aus der Reichsschrifttumskammer, was einem Berufsverbot gleichkam. Er emigrierte 1936 über Genf nach London, wo er bald wieder journalistisch Fuß fassen konnte und u. a. für den Daily Telegraph und The Times schrieb. Nach fünfmonatiger Internierung bei Kriegsbeginn auf der Isle of Man konnte Stern-Rubarth seine journalistische Tätigkeit fortsetzen. 1946 nahm er, der die deutsche Staatsangehörigkeit zurückerhalten hatte, auch die britische Staatsbürgerschaft an. Nach 1945 reiste er zu Gastvorlesungen nach Deutschland und arbeitete wieder als Korrespondent für deutsche Presseorgane wie die Stuttgarter Zeitung und den Rheinischen Merkur. Ab 1956 war Stern-Rubarth regelmäßig im Pressereferat der deutschen Botschaft in London tätig. Die Bundesrepublik ehrte ihn 1958 mit der Verleihung des Großen Bundesverdienstkreuzes und fünf Jahre später mit dem Stern zum Großen Bundesverdienstkreuz. In seinem 2018 erschienenen Roman Die Orient-Mission des Leutnant Stern erzählt Jakob Hein, wie Kaiser Wilhelm im Ersten Weltkrieg mit der Auslösung des Dschihads seine Gegner bekämpfen wollte. Um Sultan Mehmed V. hierfür zu gewinnen, schickt er den Leutnant und 14 als Zirkusartisten getarnte Muslime nach Konstantinopel. Zwar erreicht die Truppe Istanbul zur Ausrufung des Dschihads, sie hatte jedoch nicht die gewünschten Auswirkungen auf den Verlauf des Krieges. Stern verließ 1915 mit ihnen den Anhalter Bahnhof und kehrte 1917, nach seiner letztlich erfolglosen Mission, zurück.(Quelle Wikipedia)‎
