Senate Issue; map in case. See our 1833.001 for the House issue map which appears to be identical. Text has the astronomical observations that are not in the House issue. The large map of the west is one of the most interesting and beautiful government maps of the 1840's. It filled in many of the gaps in cartographic knowledge of the west. Charles Preuss was the cartographer. Map is without color except for a light blue for water areas.

House Issue; map in case. Lacks the astronomical observations that appear in the first issue by the Senate. The large map of the west is one of the most interesting and beautiful government maps of the 1840's. It filled in many of the gaps in cartographic knowledge of the west. Charles Preuss was the cartographer. Fremont and Preuss mapped only what they saw along their routes, leaving large areas blank. Map is without color. Book is bound with full leather with "Executive Documents 2d Sess. 28th Cong." on the spine in gold.
