Graff 2691; Howes M322; Smith 6555; Tweney 48 - "Elaborate monograph, based on twenty-five years' research, annihilating the myth that Whitman saved Oregon" - Howes. Tweney says the book "is probably the most thorough attempt ever made to expose the myth that Whitman saved Oregon...[and] is considered the best authority on the subject... essential to any complete library" on the history of Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana and Wyoming.

Title page imprint reads "Copyright 1905 by William I. Marshall. All rights reserved." There was an edition published in 1905, apparently in Chicago, which is often confused with this edition, and Tweney does allow that many bibliographies and rare book catalogues list this one as the first edition.

In 1789 three of his ships were seized by the Spaniards and their crews made prisoners, on the ground that Nootka Sound was Spanish territory. Meares hastened to England, where he presented his Memorial, claiming redress. The government made prompt representations and Spain avoided war only by acceding to all demands."

Spine sunned with some minor rubbing; offset to endpapers, inscription to front pastedown, else very good.

It also contains a separate account of the voyage of the Iphegenia, commanded by Captain William Douglas, which visited the Sandwich Islands and Nootka Sound" - Hill. Howes adds that it's the "Pioneer English voyage to this coast, supplying the chief basis to British claims to Oregon. Spanish pretensions to territory beyond California were relinquished in the treaty following England's remonstrance over the seizure of Meare's ships, anchored off Nootka," which conflict became known as the "Nootka Controversy."

Adams Herd 1474; Adams Six-guns 1478; Graff 2750; Howes M522; Smith 6735; Streeter 2385 - One of the great rarities of Western Americana, a near-contemporary account of the Johnson County War, in which large stock owners imported hired gunmen to eradicate rustlers, and any other citizens who might be a hinderence to them. The author was editor and publisher of a stock journal, but not totally sympathetic to the large owners. Adams notes that "immediately after it was printed, the Wyoming cattlemen objected to having their activities thus exposed, and in the course of a libel suit the entire issue was impounded by a local court and ordered destroyed... While the books were in the custody of the court, a number of copies were stolen and smuggled to Denver, which lay outside of the court's jurisdiction. It is claimed that the books were unbound when they were stolen and were later bound in Denver. The rarity of the book is due not only to the impounding and destruction of most of the copies but also to the fact that for many years members of the Wyoming Stock Growers' Association, their sympathizers, and their descendents destroyed every copy they came across. The author's print shop was burned, and he was ordered to leave Wyoming." Front hinge cracking, else near fine. (2000/3000).

Hill, Pacific Voyages, p.504; Howes M438 - "Mourelle was one of the last great men to navigate the Pacific in the second half of the eighteenth century. He made the last Spanish voyage into the South Pacific in 1780 and 1781 with the frigate La Princesa. They sailed from Manila and Canton through Melanesia and discovered the Vavau group of the Tonga Islands, and also visited the Haapai group of those same islands... Mourelle's second voyage with the Sonora in 1775 explored the coasts of Alta California, the Northwest, and Alaska as far as 62o N. latitude. The great port of San Francisco was first surveyed on this expedition. In 1793 Mourelle returned to Spain and was heavily involved in the naval wars, first with France and then with Great Britain" - Hill. First published in 1781 in Daines Barrington's Miscellanies, with a very small number of separate copies issued. Sunning to jacket; vol. in fine condition. (300/500).

Hill p.505 - Moziño was a scientist aboard the 1792 expedition of Juan Francisco de la Bodega y Quadra Mollinado to the Nootka Sound area to resolve Anglo-Spanish difficulties. His narrative "gathered the proverbial dust in archives until one manuscript version of it was here published in 1913 by the Mexican historian Alberto Maria Carreño... It is the fullest and best account of any northwest coast group before Jewitt's florid Narrative (1815). The larger part of Moziño's Noticias is concerned with the ethnology of the Nootka Indians..." - Hill. In the preface to the 1970 translation of the work, Philip Drucker writes that the original publication "was in a skimpy edition of a few copies. To make matters worse, the published version appeared in 1913, presumably in one of the rare and brief interludes of tranquility in the seventeen-year-long Mexican Revolution. Distribution was less than good. Not many libraries in this country own copies." Ink inscription at foot of title-page. Some soiling & small stain to title, lower corner missing, with those of following leaves dog-eared, a small marginal chip to title-page; else very good. (400/700).

Streeter notes that "one of the best features of the Guide is its `Addenda' at pp. [89]-153 which is devoted primarily to the then recent developments in gold and silver mining in Idaho. There are many extracts from contemporary newspaper accounts. The large folding map is helpful and important."

Graff 2932; Howes M884; Sabin 51275; Tweney 56; Wagner-Camp 393; Wheat Transmississippi Vol. 5, pp.85-95 - "Captain Mullan's report with an itinerary comprises pages 1-84 and is followed by the engineers' reports and other meteorological and astronomical data. It covers the period from March 1858 to September 1862" - W.C. Wheat goes into much detail in the maps and the roadbuilding expedition, noting this work as a "comprehensive, highly interesting 363-page report, accompanied by four elaborate maps, all of which require to be described...

Cowan p.464; Howes O84; Rocq 10749 - Cowan notes that O'Meara was a "Law and Order" man, implying, it may be supposed, that he approved of the decent citizens of San Francisco taking affairs into their own hands.
