"Berlandier spent the years 1827 to 1831 exploring the north and western boundaries of Mexico at the request of Mexican Boundary Commission. The day-by-day records of the expedition were published in this volume, possibly as an aftermath of the Mexican War" - Wagner-Camp-Becker. First edition of this essential book for the study of the Southwest, with the oft-lacking portrait. Becker does not mention a portrait, and it was lacking from the Jennie Crocker Henderson copy (Howell catalogue 50). Jean Louis Berlandier was actually a native of France, joined the Mexican Boundary Commission as a zoologist and botanist studying the region's natural history. During his time studying the flora and fauna of the Mexico-Texas border, he also became fascinated with the Indigenous people of the region. Berlandier settled in Matamoros after the survey, continuing his studies of natural history until he was drowned during a perilous crossing of the San Fernando River in 1851. Collections of his papers, and journals, and sketches are held at the Smithsonian, at Harvard, and at Yale University. "A few copies are known with a frontispiece.the best scientific study of Texas during the colonial period. Berlandier came to Mexico to collect botanical specimens for a group of Swiss naturalists, and to accompany Gen. Manuel de Mier y Teran on his scientific expedition to Texas in 1828.he was observant, careful, and intelligent, and he left us a record that is unmatched for his era in Texas" - Jenkins.
