Notes of a Military Reconnoissance is a travelogue written by W.H. Emory, detailing his journey from Fort Leavenworth in Missouri to San Diego in California through the Arkansas, Del Norte, and Gila Rivers. Emory was a member of the US Army's Corps of Topographical Engineers, and his mission was to survey the land and gather information about the terrain, flora, fauna, and indigenous people. The book is filled with detailed descriptions of the landscape, including the rugged mountains, vast deserts, and winding rivers. Emory also provides accounts of his encounters with various Native American tribes, and the challenges his team faced while navigating the treacherous terrain. The book is a valuable historical record of the American West in the mid-19th century, and a fascinating glimpse into the life of a military surveyor.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
