Two plates detached one with a chipped corner. Overall very good. Organized by the War department under the direction of Jefferson Davis who was Secretary of War at that time a collection of volumes was produced in the quest for the best route for a railroad to the West. Jefferson Davis wrote part of the introduction to this series and outlines the goals of the project. This report is on routes explored in Northern California and Oregon. Specifically the expedition was to look for a railroad route crossing the Sierra Nevada near the source of the Carson River and to see if it was feasible to connect the Sacramento valley with the Oregon Territory. Most of the color plates in this volume are located in the first three parts of the publication which is focused on topography geology and botanical subjects. This volume includes 23 color lithographs of scenery and botanical subjects 2 hand colored plates of birds and 24 steel engraved plates. Wagner-Camp 264a. Beverly Tucker, unknown‎

THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT CONTEMPORARY SOURCE FOR THE GEOGRAPHY OF THE WEST Senate Issue 3rd issue of volume XII. Published by the Federal Government at the instigation of Secretary of War Jefferson Davis and the result of numerous reconnaissance surveys of possible routes for the Pacific Railroad these reports represent the first attempt at a comprehensive systematic geographical exploration of the Western regions of America and made possible the first reasonably accurate topographical maps of the West. Four major routes were surveyed from a northern route terminating at the mouth of the Columbia River to a southern route running through Texas to San Diego. The report is finely illustrated with approximately 540 plates maps and tables depicting scenery native inhabitants fossils archaeology flora and fauna including many hand-colored. Of the eleven official expedition artists the most prominent is the renowned John M. Stanley 1814-1872 most widely known for his portraits of Native Americans and their way of life. The collation of this epic survey is complicated and often varies but "despite their flaws these volumes contain a monumental collection of scientific information geographical zoological botanical geological of the still mysterious American West. Upon first examination the volumes seem forbiddingly disorganized. however these faults are amply compensated by the richness of the material within" Wagner-Camp.

‎The Pacific Telegraph and Railway.‎

‎Saint Louis: Charles & Hammond 1849. 8vo. 8 6/8 x 5 4/8 inches. With the RARE 20 pages of preliminary material. Two FINE folding lithographed maps one showing ". the Position of Our Continent." and the other ". showing the Railroads of the United States" by Julius Hutawa some very light spotting. Modern calf backed marbled paper boards. Provenance: With the contemporary ownership inscription of W.H.B. Thomas at the head of the title-page. First edition and RARE. With the extremely important and fine large folding map showing the projected system of railways across the entire continent "to the Pacific and their connections exhibiting the lines of the States and the natural features of the Cuontry sic from Mississippi to the Pacific". The nation debated a suitable route for a Pacific Railroad from about 1845. In the fall of 1849 a Pacific Railroad convention met in St. Louis at which Loughborough defended Thomas H. Benton's plan of a line from St. Louis by way of Pueblo New Mexico to San Francisco with a branch to Oregon with an "examination of all the projects for the construction of these works with a proposition for harmonizing all sections and parties of the Union and rendering these great works truly national in their character" title-page. Loughborough also presented the case for a cross-continent telegraph: "Should the electric Telegraph be constructed forthwith across the continent. the enterprising individuals who stretch the wires will seek out of course the shortest and most practicable route for this great railway; and ere the immense work shall have been begun a broad belt of civilization will span the continent diffusing its whole-some principles and habits among the wild races who roam over the boundless plains of the west and preparing in advance for those who are to construct the railway. This belt will go on widening and widening until the vast pastoral region spread out between the line of the States and the base of the Rocky Mountains will be brought into cultivation and herds and flocks and rural beauty and domestic happiness will diffuse themselves over the whole land." page 47. Benton also argued that the government should build and own the Pacific Railroad and lease it to private operators or that private capitalists should build it aided only by a free right-of-way through public lands.
