Atlas volume in contemporary quarter calf with tips over original blue paper boards with printed paper label spine in seven gilt-ruled compartments with gilt red morocco lettering-piece in second gilt date in sixth and blind center tool One of the most important of all American travel narratives; Pike's account contains the first maps to incorporate geographical knowledge of the Southwest based on first-hand exploration. It is a milestone in the mapping of the American West. Wheat Here in the rarest and most desirable form with the plates and maps in a quarto atlas. Pike's narrative along with that of Long and Lewis and Clark is one of the most significant early books on the exploration of the American West. As such it is a cornerstone of Western Americana. In particular Streeter felt its "description of Texas is excellent." Hill gives the following summary of its contents: "In 1805 Pike was given the difficult assignment of conducting a reconnaissance of the upper Mississippi region. He was ordered to explore the headwaters of that river to purchase sites from the Indians for further military posts and to bring a few influential chiefs back to St. Louis for talks. The trip was only moderately successful as a mission to the tribes but Pike was able to convey important geographical information to President Jefferson and other Washington officials. On Pike's second expedition 1806-1807 he was assigned to explore the headwaters of the Arkansas River then proceed south and descend the Red River from its source. Pike and his men were taken into custody by a Spanish patrol and Pike was able to observe many areas in New Mexico Chihuahua and Texas. His book created interest in the Southwest and stimulated the expansionist movement in Texas." The atlas volume consists of the following maps plus three tables: 1. "Falls of St. Anthony." 2. "Map of the Mississippi River from its Source to the Mouth of the Missouri laid down from the notes of Lieutn Z. M. Pike by Anthony Nau. Reduced and Corrected by Astronomical observations of Mr. Thompson at its source; and of Captn. M. Lewis where it receives the waters of the Missouri." 3. "The First Part of Captn.

Pike who was conducted through that Country in the year 1807 by Order of the Commandant General of those Provinces." 5. "A Chart of the Internal Part of Louisiana. Including all hitherto unexplored Countries lying between the River La Platte of the Missouri on the N: and the Red River on the S: the Mississippi East and the Mountains of Mexico West; with a part of New Mexico and the Province of Texas.
