Long's map of the great plains and the rivers draining east from the Rocky Mountains was the best depiction done at that time and was used by other map makers (see Carey and Lea atlas). Maps bound separately. Atlas vol is dated 1822, text vols 1823, all as originally issued (see Howes). Both text volumes bound in leather with "Long's First Expedition" and volume number in gilt on spines. Atlas volume rebound with quarter leather and cloth covered boards. Two large maps entitled: "Country drained by the Mississippi Eastern Section" and "...Western Section."
