Excerpt from Exploration of the Red River of Louisiana: In the Year 1852 In submitting the following report of a reconnoissance of the country bordering upon upper Red river, it is proper to state that, previous to our departure upon the expedition, we were unable to procure all the instruments adapted to the performance of such services as were required of us. We succeeded in obtaining a sextant, a mountain barometer, an aneroid barometer, an odometer, a prismatic compass, and two Fahrenheit thermometers; but could not procure a chronometer, and, in consequence, were under the necessity of making our observations with a pocket lever watch. The latitudes given are the results of from twelve to fifteen observations of Polaris for the determination of each position. The longitudes were determined by a series of observations upon lunar distances, and are believed to be as accurate as the imperfect character of our instruments would admit. The positions thus deduced have been corrected by frequent and careful observations of courses and distances with the compass and odometer, a record of which will be found in the appendix. The astronomical observations were made by Captain George B. McClellan, of the engineer corps, who, in addition to the duties properly pertaining to his department, performed those of quartermaster and commissary to the command. An interesting collection of reptiles and other specimens, in alcohol, was also made under his superintendence, and put into the hands of Professors Baird and Girard, of the Smithsonian Institution, whose reports will be found in the appendix. For these and many other important services, as well as for his prompt and efficient co-operation in whatever was necessary for the successful accomplishment of the design of the expedition, I take this opportunity of tendering my warmest acknowledgment.

Written in 1854, "Exploration of the Red River of Louisiana, in the Year 1852" is a more detailed account of the United States army expedition briefly described in author R.B. Macy's book "Thirty Years of Army Life on the Border." The military had tried and failed several times before to explore the Red River's uncharted waters before finally launching this successful mission. "Exploration of the Red River" reads like a diary but contains all the necessary information for a report on the expedition. Macy included descriptions of the Indians encountered, wildlife, plant life, scenery, attached waterways and lakes, and appendicies of the courses and distances charted, minerals, fossils, animals, plants, and Indian languages. This is a highly valuable and detailed text for anyone researching 19th century U.S. expansion and discovery of territories.
