About This Item
Austin; (1987): Texas State Historical Association. Quarto. 3 volume reprint of the 2 volume set. Illustrated in color and in black and white like the original. Emory was primarily responsible for the cartography and his map is essential in determining the Gadsen Purchase. Volume I begins with his Personal account, then describes Lower Rio Bravo. From mouth of Devil's river to El Paso del Norte. Sketch of territory acquired by treaty of Dec. 30, 1853. The original costs of the set caused Congress to limit the set by two-thirds. Fortunately, the Texas State Historical Association was able to print the complete set with the map leaving no omissions. A fine set bound in 1/4 dark blue cloth over orange cloth, spine lettering gilt.
