Personal narrative of explorations and incidents in Texas, New Mexico, California, Sonora, and Chihuahua : connected with the United States and Mexican Boundary Commission, during the years 1850, '51, '52, and '53
A 1854 narrative by John Russell Bartlett, published in New York and London by D. Appleton & Company, recounting his work as commissioner on the United States and Mexican boundary survey across Texas, New Mexico, California, Sonora and Chihuahua. The pictures are rotated black-and-white engravings and one sepia plate, showing rugged desert ridges, mounted riders in dense crowds, and a camp scene with cacti; a designer could draw on their crosshatched line work for landscape and frontier motifs.
