We offer for Sale:

Baker, Marcus. Clark, John H. THE NORTHWEST BOUNDARY OF TEXAS. UNITED 
STATES GEOLOGICAL SURVEY NO. 194. SERIES F, GEOGRAPHY 30. Washington, 
D. C.: Government Printing Office, 1902. 50 pp.,  [3] + map. Illus. 
with a 26.5 X 39.5 inch folding map and 5 figures. 8vo. Paper 
wrappers.  Wheat 1022. First edition.

Contains John H. Clark's important 'Map of the United States and 
Texas Boundary Line and Adjacent Territory Determined and Surveyed in 
1857-8-9-60.' Baker discusses the  history of the Texas surveys, 
beginning with Jones and Brown (1859), Clark (1859-60), Johnston 
(1857), Macomb (1859), Darling' (1868), Chaffee and Major (1869 and 
1872), Major (1874),  Chaney (1881), Mabry (1882-85), Taylor and Fuss 
(1883), Pritchett (1892), and Preston (1900). Clark completed the map 
in 1860 but not all the work as the Civil War intervened;  the final 
report was not published until 1882 in Senate Ex. Doc No. 70., but 
without the large map which was published for the first time in this 
report by Marcus Baker in 1902. Lacking the wrappers,  minor spotting 
to series title leaf, otherwise contents very good or better; map is 
fine, crisp, without tears or extraneous creases, and as issued. A 
wonderful copy.    [30989] $175.00
