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."

Binding: recent ¼ morocco with marbled boards flat spine with title in gilt each spine has a different shade of morocco but the marble boards are similar. Notes: “This American expedition was first proposed by the prominent oceanographer Matthew F. Maury. He urged North American plantation owners to emigrate to the Amazon valley with their slaves to seek their fortunes. He also advocated opening the Amazon to international commerce. Maury was the brother-in-law of Lt. Herndon a naval officer. The expedition was organized by the U.S. Navy Department and sent out to South America in the Years 1851 and 1852. The Americans traveled to Chile and to Lima Peru where Lt. Herndon pushed into the upper Amazon. Lt. Gibbon traveled south through Bolivia and then into the selvas of Brazil. The two groups met in Serpa Brazil and then continued down the Amazon River to Para. Herndon was later lost with his ship “Central America” off Cape Hatteras in 1857. The work itself is a minute accurate and very interesting study on the aborigines of the Andes and on the geography of the Amazon and its tributaries.” Hill pg. 284 Size: 8vo Illustration: 52 lithographed plates and 5 folding maps.
