Herndon was appointed to lead the first American naval expedition to explore the Amazon River valley and its tributaries between 1851-2. The expedition combined scientific observation on geography natural history and Aboriginal populations along with commercial assessments as directed by the Navy and Congress. Herndon divided the expedition into two groups: he appointed Lt. Lardner Gibbon to explore the tributaries while he would explore the Amazon River from source to mouth. Herndon's narrative provided an intimate portrait of an exotic land before the outside world rushed in. His report "so far surpassed his superiors' expectations that instead of printing the obligatory few hundred copies for Congress the secretary of the Navy ordered 10000 copies in the first print run; three months later he ordered 20000 more."
