4482.001 |
| Note |
A rare guide and map (actually two maps on one sheet) that is a "cousin" of Mitchell's "Accompaniment to Mitchell's New Map of Texas, Oregon and California with The Regions Adjoining" also issued in 1846. Although Howes lists this under Mitchell, Mitchell's name is not on any part of the guide or map, Streeter lists it under Thomas, Cowperthwait & Co., the publisher. There are 62 pages of text and several woodcut illustrations. The two full color maps are titled "Map of That Part of the West Coast of North America Comprising Oregon and Upper California" (26x20) and "Map of the State of Texas With Portions of the Adjoining Regions" (26x20) both printed on one sheet. These maps are earlier states of similar maps with slightly different titles that appear in Mitchell's School Atlas of 1846, maps #13 and #15. The School Atlas was published by Thomas, Cowperthwait & Co. and the maps in it were copyrighted by Mitchell (this may be the reason Howes lists this "Geographical Description..." under Mitchell). The stamped leather covers 13.5x8 to both of these guides are the same with the exception that they are red in this copy. So I presume that Thomas, Cowperthwait issued this to compete with Mitchell's guide, yet somehow had Mitchell's cooperation in using the maps and the covers (assuming that Mitchell had some control over these). The two maps are impressive taken together and although smaller than Mitchell's "New Map of Texas, Oregon and California" they are very elegant. This guide is much rarer that Mitchell's guide and sold for two and one half times more at the Streeter sale. |

This edition has the same cover as the "Western Tourist and Emigrant's Guide..." but the title page is different, and the contents are basically the same - Colton issued the two books with different title pages but the same contents and maps - an interesting marketing device. The map adds Minnesota, Nebraska and Kansas to the title and is enlarged and extended west to include the settled eastern counties of Nebraska and Kansas and a portion of Dakota. Fisher's name is added to the title page for the first time, as compiler, something he probably was doing since the Colton editions of the early 1850's. The text is expanded to include Nebraska and Kansas. Bound with brown cloth with title embossed on cover. Prime meridian is Washington, D.C. |
