"Lieutenant William H. Emory was assigned to General Stephen Watts Kearny's 'Army of The West' in 1846, under orders to take possession of New Mexico and California. Emory's NOTES...became an important guide for emigrants in the rush of 1849...He also mapped the route of the Mormon Battalion over the Southern Trail and along the San Pedro River to Tucson and to the Gila Trail at the Pima villages. (Some ethnographic notes by A. Gallatin). "Emory went on to [further] explore the overland route to California and took part in the American conquest of southern California. The text is illustrated with some of the first American views of the far Southwest.


NOTES provided goldseekers with valuable information by discussing various Indian groups, thus allaying fears about tribes the pioneers might meet along the way...it appears that the majority of emigrants had both Emory's book and map with them, and they all found their way by connecting with the various landmarks Emory so gracefully described."

"December 16, 1847. Read, and ordered to be printed; and that 1000 copies, in addition to the usual number be printed for the use of the Senate.". ; Includes reports by Abert and Cooke. ("A preliminary Senate issue has a title page with Emory's rank correctly given as "Lieut. Col." and some copies have the large map in a pocket. Though this issue "has been described as the 'first issue of the first edition', Wagner-Camp claims this "is questionable" since there were different issues of the NOTES issued with or without maps, truncated report by Cooke, report by Johnson, several even with hand-colored plates, etc. According to Wagner-Camp, Plate VI, labeled "Baileya Multiflora" ("as in all House . copies"), is incorrect.
