MCPHERSON ROBERT S. & SUSAN RHOADES NEEL
Mapping The Four Corners: Narrating The Hayden Survey Of 1875
University of Oklahoma Press Norman: 2016. Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. In 1875 a team of cartographers geologists and scientists under the direction of Ferdinand V. Hayden entered the Four Corners area for what they thought would be a calm summer's work completing a previous survey. Their accomplishments would go down in history as one of the great American surveying expeditions of the nineteenth century. By skillfully weaving the surveyors' diary entries field notes and correspondence with newspaper accounts historians Robert S. McPherson and Susan Rhoades Neel bring the Hayden Survey to life. Mapping the Four Corners provides an entertaining engaging narrative of the team's experiences contextualized with a thoughtful introduction and conclusion. Accompanied by the great photographer William Henry Jackson Hayden's team quickly found their trip to be more challenging than expected. The travelers describe wrangling half-wild pack mules trying to sleep in rain-soaked blankets and making tea from muddy alkaline water. Along the way they encountered diverse peoples evidence of prehistoric civilizations and spectacular scenery�Hispanic villages in Colorado and New Mexico; Mesa Verde Hovenweep and other Anasazi sites; and the Hopi mesas. Not everyone they met was glad to see them: in southeastern Utah surveyors fought and escaped a band of Utes and Paiutes who recognized that the survey meant dispossession from their homeland. Hayden saw his expedition as a scientific endeavor focused on geology geographic description cartographic accuracy and even ethnography but the search for economic potential was a significant underlying motive. As this book shows these pragmatic scientists were on the lookout for gold beneath every rock grazing lands in every valley and economic opportunity around each bend in the trail. The Hayden Survey ultimately shaped the American imagination in contradictory ways solidifying the idea of "progress"�and government funding of its pursuit�while also revealing via Jackson's photographs a landscape with a beauty hitherto unknown and unimagined. 30 black-and-white Illustrations 5 maps 304 pages 6" x 9". Robert S. McPherson is Professor of History at Utah State University-Eastern Blanding Campus. He is the author or coauthor of numerous books on Navajo history and the history of the Southwest including Under the Eagle: Samuel Holiday Navajo Code Talker with Samuel Holiday and Viewing the Ancestors: Perceptions of the Anaasazi Mokwic and Hisatsinom.

Medina Jose Toribio 1852 1930
El veneciano Sebastián Caboto al servicio de España y especialmente de su proyectado viaje á las Molucas por el Estrecho de Magallanes y al reconocimiento de la costa del continente hasta la gobernación de Pedrarias Dávila
2 volumes: ix634 pages with frontispiece photostat copies of original manuscripts plates and bibliography; 613 pages with index. Folio 13" x 9 3/4" bound in half leather with red and gilt lettering to spine and original wrappers bound in. First edition.<br /><br />Sebastian Cabot was born to Giovanni Caboto John Cabot also an explorer variously credited with Genoese or Gaetan origins and Mattea. In 1508-09 Sebastian Cabot followed in his father's footsteps by leading one of the first expeditions to find a North-West passage and indeed claimed to have found one but was forced to turn back by his crew. He may have found the entrance to Hudson's Bay. By 1512 Sebastian was certainly employed by Henry VIII as a cartographer at Greenwich. In the same year he accompanied the English explorer Hugh Willoughby to Spain where he was made captain by Ferdinand V. After Ferdinand's death he returned to England. In 1516 Cabot and Sir Thomas Pert then Vice Admiral of England sailed in two ships to explore the coasts of Brazil and the West Indies for Henry VIII. After coming under artillery fire at Hispaniola the expedition withdrew and returned to England reportedly because of Pert's faint-heartedness. Subsequently Cabot moved to Spain due to greater support for explorations by the Spanish king. In 1522 although once more in the employ of Spain as a member of the Council of the Indies and holding the rank of pilot-major he secretly offered his services to Venice undertaking to find the Northwest Passage to China. Cabot finally received the rank of captain general from Spain and was entrusted on March 4 1525 with the command of a fleet which was to determine from astronomical observation the precise demarcation of the Treaty of Tordesillas and then to convey settlers to the Moluccas in order to strengthen Spanish claims there. It was officially noted as an expedition "for the discovery of Tharsis Ophir and Eastern Cathay." This expedition consisted of four ships with 200 men and set sail from Sanlucar de Barrameda on April 3 1526. This voyage might have resulted in a second circumnavigation of the world. Upon landing in Brazil however rumors of the wealth of the Incan king and the nearly-successful invasion of Aleixo Garcia caused Cabot to abandon his charge and instead further explore the interior of the Rio de la Plata. Cabot had already earned the disapproval of his crew by stranding the fleet in the doldrums and running the flagship aground off Santa Catarina Island. His decision regarding the Rio de la Plata led to open resistance from Martin Mendez his lieutenant general Miguel de Rodas pilot of the capitana and Francisco de Rojas the captain of one of the other vessels. He dealt with the mutiny by marooning them and other officers on Santa Catarina Island. He then traveled into the Rio de la Plata and spent five months exploring the estuary. He established a fort called San Salvador at the confluence of the Uruguay and the Rio San Salvador. This was the first Spanish settlement in modern-day Uruguay. Leaving the two larger ships there he sailed up the Parana in the brigantine and a galley constructed at Santa Catarina. His party constructed a small fort called Santo or Espiritu Santo at the confluence of the Parana and the Rio Carcaras. This was the first Spanish settlement in present-day Argentina; the town of Caboto was later constructed nearby and named in his honor. Losing 18 men to an ambush he returned to San Salvador passing Diego Garcia's expedition as he went. Cabot sent one ship back to Spain with his reports accusations against the mutineers and requests for further aid. In the spring of 1529 he returned upriver to Espiritu Santo which he discovered had been overwhelmed and burnt by the Indians during his absence. He recovered the cannon and returned to San Salvador. At a council on 6 August 1529 it was decided to return to Spain. Cabot sailed with Garcia to Sao Vicente. Purchasing 50 slaves there he coasted Brazil and arrived in Seville on 22 July 1530 returning home with one ship and 24 men. He was arraigned on charges from the Crown Rojas and by the families of Rodas and Mendez. He was condemned by the Council of the Indies on charges of disobedience misadministration and causing the death of officers under his command and sentenced to heavy fines and a two-year banishment to Oran in North Africa. His banishment was later doubled. During these proceedings however the Emperor had been absent in Germany. Upon his return Cabot presented him with descriptions of the region. Although no pardon is recorded and the fines were still paid it is known that Cabot never went into exile and was pilot-major of Spain until 1547 when without losing either the title or the pension he left Spain and returned to England where he received a salary with the title of great navigator.<br /><br /><b>Condition:</b><br /><br />Some light edge wear rebound with original wrappers bound in a very good set.

MENZIES GAVIN
1421: The Year China Discovered America
HarperPerennial New York: 2008. Softcover. Very good condition. On March 8 1421 the largest fleet the world had ever seen set sail from China to "proceed all the way to the ends of the earth to collect tribute from the barbarians beyond the seas." When the fleet returned home in October 1423 the emperor had fallen leaving China in political and economic chaos. The great ships were left to rot at their moorings and the records of their journeys were destroyed. Lost in the long self-imposed isolation that followed was the knowledge that Chinese ships had reached America seventy years before Columbus and had circumnavigated the globe a century before Magellan. And they colonized America before the Europeans transplanting the principal economic crops that have since fed and clothed the world. Includes an Index. "1421 is richly illustrated and Menzies's documentation is extensive. The case he makes is compelling. . . . Lively reading." - Salt Lake Tribune HarperPerennial, New York: 2008 hardcover
