Includes <i>Reconnaissance of the Zuni Little Colorado and Colorado Rivers Made in 1851</i> map as called for but includes Lithographed map <i>Boundary of the Creek Country</i> 24" x 36" laid in not called for. Senate Executive Document 59 Howes: 528 First edition.<br /><br />Survey of the watershed of the Canadian River and Red Fork of the Arkansas River in Indian Territory extending from Fort Smith to the border with Texas. The lands of the Cherokee Creek Seminole and Choctaw Indians are located. The map locates numerous forts including Smith Coffee Gibson and Old Fort Holmes and their connecting wagon roads. Talasee is shown at the site of Tulsa. This map was issued with the "Northern and Western Boundary Line of the Creek Country" report by Sitgreaves and Lt. J.C. Woodruff. The surveys were made in 1848 and 1850 but the report in which the map was issued wasn't published until 1858.<br /><br />After the conquest of New Mexico and California it was apparent that transportation and communications needed to be improved between these new territories and the rest of the United States east of the Mississippi. Geographical knowledge of most of this area particularly northwestern New Mexico now northern Arizona was very limited and inaccurate. Some maps of the day showed a river system that might provide a possible navigable water corridor between New Mexico and the Gulf of California via the Zuni Little Colorado and Colorado Rivers. In September of 1851 Captain Lorenzo Sitgreaves along with a small crew of topographers naturalists artists and support personnel and an escort of 30 infantrymen left the Zuni Pueblo in western New Mexico by pack train with instructions to explore and map the Zuni and Colorado Rivers and evaluate their navigability in light of a possible impending war with the Mormons in Utah. They traveled southwest along the Zuni River to its mouth and then headed northwest along the Little Colorado intending to follow it to the Colorado. When they reached Grand Falls northwest of present-day Winslow Arizona their guide Antoine Leroux advised them that it was unwise to follow the river any further because it flowed in a deep canyon for the rest of its course and emptied into the great canyon of the Colorado River. They left the river and struck off due west around the north side of the San Francisco Mountains discovering the Wupatki Indian Ruins along the way and looped southwestward around the south side of Bill Williams Mountain. The rest of their westward march followed near the future alignment of Route 66 to the Colorado River near the modern town of Bullhead City Arizona. After a difficult march south along the Colorado River they reached Camp Yuma on November 30. Of course Sitgreaves discovered that the Zuni and Little Colorado Rivers were not at all navigable and would be useless to transport troops and supplies. The Colorado River however was found to be navigable along the entire distance that he explored. Sitgreaves' official report "Report of an Expedition Down the Zuni and Colorado Rivers in 1851" was published in 1853.<br /><br /><b>Condition:</b><br /><br />Foxing left margin trimmed as issued for folding all other plates present as called for in Howes as well as Lithographed map <i>Boundary of the Creek Country</i> laid in and not called for some folding. Rebound in attractive three quarter leather else a about very good. Robert Armstrong hardcover books

STARR, Frederick
In Indian Mexico; A Narrative of Travel and Labor
thick 8vo [24.5 x 16 cm]; xi, 425 pp, numerous plates and frontis from photos by author, some plates with two photos, itinerary, index. original cloth, gilt spine title lettering, spine edge a little rubbed, endpaper name, internal hinge repair, interior is clean and fine in very good+ cover. A picture of this book is available upon request by email. Hand S480. The anthropologist author's earlier work, Indians of Southern Mexico, produced in only a limited edition was highly regarded but consists of mostly photos (but excellent ones), although he published a number of other papers, mostly short, on the subject. This work provides a detailed travel narrative through Oaxaca, Chiapis, parts of Guatemala, Dos Rios to photograph the Otamis of Huixquilucan, to Patzcuaro to study the Tarascans, to Uruapan, Tlaxcala, Cuauhtlantzinco, Zamora, states of Puebla, Hidalgo and many others, travelling by railroad where possible, or steamer, horseback, etc. Based on several expeditions from 1896 to 1901, the author was able to greatly expand his earlier works and produce this important book that preserves much information which is not available elsewhere and of towns and regions that have greatly changed in the last 100 years. 'A first hand, reliable picture. . . an outstanding work' (Emory Bogardus).
