Golden, CO: [1882]. 8vo. 12 pp. Folding panoramic view map: "Profile Map of Locations of Mines Near Animas Forks and Mineral City, San Juan County, Colorado," 7 3/4 x 46 1/2 inches. Original brown pebbled cloth, gilt-lettered on front cover. A near-fine copy.

SCARCE FIRST EDITION. Inscribed on the title: "With Capt. W. McFarlane's Compliments 1883 to G. St. Jones Gutyn Arfon." Includes an early history of San Juan, and brief descriptions of all of the mines. Very scarce: only one other copy has sold at auction since the Streeter copy in 1968.

"This is quite worth-while because of Prof. Lake’s historical sketch of the district and his brief resumé of upwards of thirty mines in the district. He says that the Baker party which explored the region in 1860 was largely cut down by the Indians and that no white men came into the region again until 1870 when the 'Little Giant Mine' was discovered near what became Silverton. The long folding map at the end shows the location of many mines and the topography of the region" (Streeter sale IV:2205). Wynar 3766. (403783) $4,000

FIRST EDITION. A privately circulated journal. Its preface reminded "those to whom it is sent... not to part with [their copies] as, for obvious reasons, he would not like the book to get into the hands of those with whom he is unacquainted."

"The author was an Englishman and his “obvious reasons” are indeed apparent on reading the book, for his criticisms are by no means always favorable to Americans" (Rosenbach 8-686: "very rare").

Spine perished, light intermittent spotting.

FIRST EDITION. Macomb's expedition "showed conclusively that no feasible supply route existed leading into the Great Basin from that direction. However, in the realm of geography and geology its implications were considerable. The whole drainage of the San Juan had been traced and the relationship of that river with the Colorado clearly established. More important, they had also established that the Green River united with the Grand to form the Colorado. The entire maze of intricate canyon country had been threaded, and its geography revealed for the first time. In addition, Newberry was able to establish numerous stratigraphic columns, and to trace the Triassic, Jurassic, and Carboniferous strata far out across the Colorado River. Newberry introduced a new level of sophistication into the study of western geology. Of Newberry it might be said that more than any other scientist since Frémont he had opened up new and unknown country to the civilized world" (Goetzmann, 'Army Exploration in the American West').
