    Est: $4,000 - $6,000

    PREUSS, CHARLES. 1803-1854, AND FREMONT, JOHN C. 1813-1890. Topographical Map of the Road from Missouri to Oregon Commencing at the Mouth of the Kansas in the Missouri River and Ending at the Mouth of the Wallah Wallah in the Columbia. In VII Sections. From the field notes and journals of Capt. J.C. Fremont, and from sketches and notes made on the ground by his assistant Charles Preuss. Baltimore: E. Weber, 1846. Seven lithographed maps, each 675 x 400 mm, bound together at right by paper hinge. Light foxing, the final map (VII) worst-affected, resulting in staining and a small tear at fold. FIRST EDITION of this set of seven maps, producing a total length of 15 ft. Each represents a section of the Oregon Trail and features lengthy legends describing the group's progress, discoveries, and notes on the terrain. Fremont, dubbed "The Pathfinder," led four expeditions West during the 1840s. He was highly enthusiastic about the prospects of settling these new territories, and the present maps, chronicling his first expedition in 1842, were likely intended for migrants. "[Fremont's] report and the Fremont (Preuss) map which accompanied it, changed the entire picture of the West, and made a lasting contribution to cartography" (Cowan, pp 223-4). Graff 3360; Streeter Sale 3100; Wagner-Camp 115n; Wheat Transmississippi 523.

A HIGHSPOT OF WESTERN CARTOGRAPHY: "An extraordinary map by a master cartographer" (Graff). "This valuable overland guide map must not be confused with those found in Frémont's reports. Preuss was a topographer of the 'Pathfinder's' first expedition and herein records the daily stopping places, with notes on the country, water, wood, game, Indians, and other subjects of interest or reasons for caution along the way. Each of the seven map-sections has its own separate title together with observations and extracts from Fremont's report relevant to the portion of the route depicted" (Eberstadt 137:518). Printed around the map are extracts from Frémont's report. This is the issue without the Weber imprint. Graff 3360; Streeter V:3100; Wagner-Camp-Becker 115 note ("Beautifully executed maps"); Wheat Mapping the Transmississippi West 523 (noting the map is especially valuable for the study of transcontinental wagon roads).
