Philadelphia: Carey, Lea, & Blanchard, 1837. First US edition. Hardcover. Good. Two volumes. 248; 248pp. 12mo. Blue cloth, printed paper spine labels. Folding map at front of each volume. Boards worn with light soil. Paper toned from age. Printed labels nearly perished. The map in volume one has a repaired closed tear across the image, no loss. Still a good set of a fragile edition.
Bonneville was one of the first American men to explore and map the West from Green River to the Great Salt Lake and onto Walla Walla. This work also includes Walker's account of trapping over the Sierra Nevada to California. Bonneville's expedition paved the way for the later expeditions of Fremont, Stansbury, and Wilkes.
These two maps are examples of some of the earliest Western United States maps.

Lacks frontispiece map, boards and pages soiled, boards rubbed, pencil markings throughout. 1837 Hard Cover. 248 pp. Volume 1 of 2. BAL 10151.
