LONG EXPEDITION
Expedition to the Rocky Mountains. H. C. Carey & I. Lea Have in Press and will publish in December Account of an Expedition from Pittsburgh to the Rocky Mountains . rear wrapper advertisement on a December 1822 issue of The Port Folio
Philadelphia: Harrison Hall 1822. 8vo. 8 5/8 x 6 inches. 4 449-532pp. Engraved frontispiece plate after T. R. Peale depicting a skin lodge Kaskaias. Foxing. Publisher's lettered wrappers. Ephemeral announcement of the publication of the account of the Long Expedition to the Rocky Mountains. Major Stephen Long was the principal proponent of government-sponsored exploration of the West following the War of 1812. He travelled farther than Pike or Lewis and Clark and blazed trails that were susequently followed by Fremont Powell and others. The expedition travelled up the Missouri and then followed the River Platte to its source in the Rocky Mountains before moving south to Upper Arkansas. From there the plan was to find the source of the Red River but when this was missed the Canadian River was explored instead. The expedition added significantly to the earlier discoveries of Lewis and Clark and Zebulon Pike. Edwin James was the botanist geologist and surgeon for this important government expedition initially named the Yellowstone Expedition. In addition to his duties on the expedition James subsequently served as the editor and compiler of the official account of the expedition relying "upon his own records the brief geological notes of Major Long and the early journals of Thomas Say who served as the expedition's naturalist" Wagner-Camp. The present December 1822 issue of The Port Folio Vol. II No. 6 includes a full-page announcement on the rear wrapper advertising the publication of the first edition of James account of the Long Expedition. In addition pages 496 to 503 include a lengthy review of the work and the engraved frontispiece depicts a skin lodge of the Kaskaias after expedition artist T. R. Peale printed from the same plate as the engraving within the first edition atlas to the James account. Rare and ephemeral. Harrison Hall unknown

LOOMIS CHAUNCEY C.; BARRETT ANDREA INTRODUCTION
Weird And Tragic Shores: The Story Of Charles Francis Hall Explorer
The Modern Library New York: 2000. Softcover. Good condition but the front cover is slightly creased. In 1860 fifteen years after Sir John Franklin's ill-fated expedition disappeared in the Arctic a Cincinnati businessman named Charles Francis Hall set out to locate and rescue the expedition's survivors. He was an amateur explorer without any scientific training or experience but he was driven by a sense of personal destiny and patriotic mission. Despite the odds against him he made three forays into the far North the final - and fatal - one taking him farther north than any westerner had ever gone before. But Hall was suddenly taken ill on that voyage and dieded under mysterious circumstances. Ninety-seven years later Chauncey Loomis headed an expedition to Hall's grave in northwestern Greenland. He exhumed Hall's frozen body and performed an autopsy. His findings suggest that the investigators of Hall's death nervously sidestepped the damning evidence. Loomis has written a masterful biography-cum-mystery that brilliantly evokes the lure of the Arctic and the brutal contest between man and nature. Includes an Index. "Fascinating." - The Boston Globe ISBN: 037575525X. The Modern Library, New York: 2000 paperback

Lunardi Ernesto Elisa Magioncalda and Rosanna Mazzacane editors
The Discovery of the New World in the Writings of Peter Martyr of Anghiera
507 pages with indexes and bibliography. Small folio 12" x 8 1/2" bound in pictorial cloth. Translated by Felix Azzola revised by Luciano F Farina. Volume II Nuova Raccolta Colombiana. First edition. The publication of a collection of Peter Martyr of Anghiera's text in the Nuova Raccolta Colombiana affords the occasion to read in its Latin original and in translation of of the most important sources of information about Christopher Columbus and the discover of American lands which were identified as "New World" by the author himself. Up to now there was no English translation of the more than eight hundred letters which make up the Opus Epistolarum Epistolary fifty of which provide precious information about Columbus the events concerning the Atlantic travels and the Spanish penetration in the new lands at the end of the fifteenth century and the first decades of the sixteenth century. He was a friend of the Discoverer and witnessed his triumph and defeat. Faced with the ingratitude of the Crown and the slanders of Columbus's enemies Peter Martyr withdrew into a bitter silence interrupting for many years his writings of the New World but continuing to collect all the information that he could obtain. There is a singular identity between him and Columbus: both were Italians who had to look for their road to success outside of their county not disowning but hiding a bit their origins because they found themselves in a context in which belonging to the Spanish nobility was nearly indispensable as a means of avoiding humiliations. Both had the good fortune of meeting an exceptional person Queen Isabella who protected and helped them. In line with this volume the editors have chosen fifty-two letters of the Opus which deal with Columbus and the new lands. The texts are presented in their entirety in both the original Latin and the translations so as to make evident the nature breadth of interest and sharpness of observation of the letters which rarely deal with only one topic. For the Decades the selection is limited to the three books which deal specifically with the travels and the discoveries of Columbus. What is presented is a critical text based on the collation of the oldest editions since the original have not reached us.Condition:A near fine copy Instituto Poligrafico e Zecca Dello Stato hardcover
