About This Item
Albuquerque: Univ. of NM Press, 1985., 1985. First edition. First edition. Cloth, 355pp. Profusely illus., many by Richard Kern; 7 maps. Richard H. Kern accompanied four major expeditions in the Southwest between 1848 and 1853. His watercolors and sketches from these travels were the first published views by an American of the people and places in the Southwest. Kern accompanied Fremont's disastrous 4th Expedition when starvation and the cold of Colorado's mountains claimed the lives of many expedition members. He was along on James Simpson's expedition to the Navajo Country. He accompanied Lorenzo Sitgreaves on an expedition through New Mexico, Arizona, and Southern California. Kern was on expedition with John W. Gunnison in Utah when both men were killed by Indians in 1853. As an expeditionary artist and cartographer, Richard H. Kern's accomplishments are unsurpassed. A truly outstanding work. Fine in dust jacket.
