Description
1857 RAILROAD 1ed Pacific Exploration FOSSILS Mammals Zoology Geology RARE
Beginning in 1855, the United States Congress published reports and surveys of certain railroad routes from the Mississippi River westward to the Pacific. This volume from “Reports of Explorations and Surveys” covers the mammals found in the regions of pacific railroad routes – animals such as raccoons, marmots, foxes, porcupines, bears, deer, gophers, and many others!
Per Larned,
“Narrative reports of many officers on various routes, giving much information concerning the western country. The publication of the reports being chiefly in the form of original journals, kept day by day, gives them a certain accuracy that might have been lost had the writers more frequently indulged in general descriptions.
This volume work includes 43 fascinating engraved plates of the zoology found around several pacific railroad routes.
