Reference : PHO-2174

(1848)

‎Notes of a Military Reconnoissance, from Fort Leavenworth, in Missouri, to San Diego, in California ; including parts of the Arkansas, Del Norte, and Gila Rivers. ‎

‎Washington, Wendell and Van Benthuysen, Printers, 1848. Octavo. xvi, 416 pages. Contemporary half calf, smooth spine gilt with author and title, red edges, stamp on title. Hinge cracked, small loose and label on spine. Large folding map detached and showing browning along the folds. First edition, Senate issue. 30th Congress, 1st Session, Senate, Executive No. 7. Illustrated with 43 plates, including three battle plans of the Mexican–American War (among them the Battle of Pueblo de Los Angeles), early views of California settlements (including San Diego), ethnographic portraits, and botanical plates, and accompanied by the large folding engraved map (33 × 75 inches, environ 84x190cm) The report documenting the military reconnaissance conducted in 1846–1847 during the Mexican–American War by Lieutenant-Colonel William H. Emory of the Corps of Topographical Engineers. The text is divided into two distinct parts : a narrative of the journey itself, combining geographical, logistical, and military observations, followed by extensive appendices presenting the scientific results of the expedition, including meteorological and astronomical observations, geological notes, and natural history data. A primary source for the history of the American Southwest. The plates provide early visual documentation of California, Native American populations, scientific observations, and contemporary military operations. The large folding engraved map, entitled Military Reconnoissance of Arkansas, Rio del Norte, and Rio Gila (dated 1847), is the cartographic centerpiece of the work. Compiled from original field observations, it provides the first comprehensive official mapping of the regions traversed by the expedition, integrating military routes, topography, settlements, barometric profiles, and tables of distances and elevations. The present example corresponds to the second and finalized state. Demi veau époque, dos lisse avec auteur et titre, tranches rouges, cachet au titre, charnière fendues, carte détachée et présentant des brunissures aux plis. Rapport officiel du Sénat sur la reconnaissance de 1846–1847, associant le récit de l’expédition et des annexes scientifiques.

‎Les trappeurs de l'Arkansas et autres romans de l'Ouest.‎

‎ Laffont, 2001, in-8°, xxv-957 pp, édition établie et présentée par Matthieu Letourneux, glossaire, biblio, broché, couv. illustrée, bon état (Coll. Bouquins)‎


‎"Gustave Aimard (1818-1883) a été, avec Eugène Sue et Paul Féval, un des romanciers les plus féconds et les plus populaires du XIXe siècle. Sa spécialité : les romans de l'Ouest américain, à la manière de Fenimore Cooper. Engagé très jeune comme mousse, il a passé une partie de sa jeunesse en Amérique du Sud. La légende veut qu'il ait mené une vie de nomade au milieu des fauves, côte à côte avec les Indiens. Attaché par deux fois au poteau de torture par les Apaches, il aurait été vendu comme esclave en Patagonie. Chasseur, trappeur, un peu bandit peut-être, il a poursuivi ses voyages en Turquie, puis dans le Caucase. De retour à Paris, il est officier de la garde mobile, en 1848, avant de repartir aux Amériques où on le retrouve dans l'aventure de la Sonora, avec le comte Raousset-Boulbon, improbable condottiere qui veut se tailler un royaume au Mexique. Revenu en France, il se lance dans la littérature populaire : les souvenirs de ses aventures le servent. Son premier roman, Les Trappeurs de l'Arkansas (1858), rencontre un succès qui se renouvellera avec une soixantaine de livres pendant vingt-cinq ans. Publiés d'abord dans Le Moniteur, La Presse, La Liberté ou Le Voleur, ils sont aussitôt repris en volume et connaissent, jusqu'au lendemain de la Seconde Guerre, un nombre incalculable de rééditions et d'adaptations, y compris au théâtre et par la bande dessinée. Sont réunis ici – pour la première fois depuis des années, car les textes de Gustave Aimard ont fini par devenir introuvables – quatre romans de l'Ouest qui forment un cycle : Les Trappeurs de l'Arkansas, Balle-Franche, L'Éclaireur, Les Bandits de l'Arizona. Nous y retrouvons le Cœur-Loyal, archétype des héros d'Aimard : il se confond avec la nature et sait en déchiffrer les signes, combat mais respecte les Indiens. Indépendant, courageux et franc, il préfigure les autres coureurs des bois, Balle-Franche, Sans-Trâces ou Bon-Affût. Face à eux, les valeureux Comanches et les perfides Apaches... Des romans propres à dédouaner nos rêves d'adolescents. Un régal !" (Robert Kopp) ‎

‎Christo & Jeanne-Claude: Over the River: Project for Arkansas River State of Colorado‎

‎, Galerie Guy Pieters, 2009 Paperback, 178 pages ; ENG, 300 x 260 mm, in very good condition, full of photo's in colour, . ISBN 9789053496213.‎


‎In this book Christo and Jeanne-Claude visit the Rocky Mountains to prepare the installation of a temporary work of art Over the River, project for Arkansas River, State of Colorado. Any given year in the future - 2008 at the earliest - approximately 1.025 fabric panels will be suspended horizontally high above the Arkansas river bed, covering an 11.3 kilometer range between Salida and Parkdale. The stream of successive panels - suspended 2 to 7 meters above the river - will be interrupted by bridges, rocks, trees and bushes while wide clearance between the banks and the edges of the translucent fabric panels, will allow sunlight to illuminate the river. As with all previous art projects, Over the River is entirely financed by Christo and Jeanne-Claude, through the sale of preparatory work. These drawings, lithographs, collages and scale models are presented in this book, together with numerous photographs of their meetings and their trips to the Rocky Mountains.‎
