Disturnell, New York." 30" x 42" Note: The particular map noted for numerous editions with notable mistakes; this map is a rare example of a map that both has gross inaccuracies and served as an important tool for the United States and Mexican governments during land disputes and negotiations at the end of the Mexican American War. The present map includes detailed hand-drawn routes and boundaries that formed the face of the modern American landscape.The red route indicated in the Southern Texas/Northern Mexico area tracks future President Zachary Taylor's military expeditions during the Mexican-American War. "In the summer of 1845, Taylor, now sixty years old and stationed again at Fort Jesup, was ordered by the Polk administration to defend the recently annexed Texas republic. Commanding what would now be called the "Army of Occupation," Taylor moved his troops to Corpus Christi, at the mouth of the Nueces River, where he awaited reinforcements. By March 1846, with an army that now numbered 4,000, he moved further south, to the Rio Grande. When Mexican troops attacked U.S. forces in late April, President James K. Polk used the attack to ask Congress for a declaration of war. On May 18, though heavily outnumbered, Taylor defeated Mexican forces at Palo Alto; the following day he engaged the Mexican army again at Resaca de la Palma, driving it back to Matamoros. With the United States and Mexico now at war, Taylor established a base of operations at Camargo, on the Rio Grande, while he awaited reinforcements from the War Department, which had issued a call for volunteers. In September 1846, his army now numbering 6,500, Taylor marched south to lay siege to Monterey, Mexico's largest northern city, which was garrisoned by the 5,000-man Army of the North, commanded by General Pedro Ampudia. After three days of fighting, Taylor took the city, signing an eight-week armistice with Ampudia, who was allowed to withdraw. The news of the victory was offset in Washington by President Polk's belief that Taylor had missed an opportunity to end the war by allowing Ampudia to evacuate the city. The War Department ordered Taylor to terminate the armistice immediately, and pointedly refrained from congratulating the general on his victory. This brought an immediate chill to relations between Taylor and the Polk administration, which was undoubtedly aggravated by reports that the general was being courted by the Whig Party as a possible candidate for the presidency in 1848. The rift between Polk and Taylor became even wider when Washington decided at year's end to open up a new theater of operations in the south, under the command of Winfield Scott. Ordered to assume a defensive position and place a large portion of his army under Scott's command in anticipation of an amphibious landing at Vera Cruz, Taylor refused to be relegated to a secondary role. In defiance of orders from both Scott and the War Department, Taylor pushed south, encountering the Mexican army at Buena Vista, below Saltillo. Taylor's army repulsed several Mexican assaults on February 22 and 23. Although both sides claimed victory, the battle ended in a stalemate. Nonetheless, Taylor's Army of Occupation remained firmly in control of northern Mexico, and the battle was hailed as a great victory by the American press. The Battle of Buena Vista added further luster to Taylor's political fortunes. Known as 'Old Rough and Ready' for his simple manner and modest appearance, Taylor was now the most celebrated hero of the war. Still bristling at his treatment by the Polk administration, Taylor agreed to accept the nomination of the Whig party, despite the fact that he had not been active in politics, nor did he appear to hold particularly strong political convictions. Indeed, Taylor did not share many of the core Whig beliefs, such as support for a protective tariff, the national bank, and internal improvements. Nonetheless, the war hero easily defeated the Democratic candidate, Lewis Cass, whose support in the North was undercut by the Free Soil party, headed by long-time Democratic standard-bearer Martin Van Buren." - an excerpt from UT Arlington Library's Special Collections, A Continent Divided: The U.S. Mexico War, and with special thanks. The route of General Stephen W. Kearny in the north indicated, also in red in the north, established for the first time the United State's military control of the lands spanning from Fort Leavenworth, Kansas westward to Los Angeles. "The start of the U.S.-Mexico War found Kearny at Fort Leavenworth, where in May 1846 he gathered troops charged with conquering New Mexico and California. Kearny's forces left Fort Leavenworth in June 1846. Numbering 1,558 men, the "Army of the West" consisted of a battalion of Missouri Volunteers, two companies of regular infantry, five squadrons of the First Dragoons, Doniphan's Regiment of Missouri Mounted Volunteers, an interpreter, about fifty Indian guides, and a small body of Army Topographical Engineers. On July 22, the army reached Bent's Fort. Soon afterward, Kearny sent word to New Mexico Governor Manuel Armijo that the Americans intended to take possession of New Mexico. On August 15 the Americans entered Las Vegas, New Mexico, and three days later entered Santa Fe without opposition, Armijo having fled. Promising to respect New Mexican property and religion, Kearny established a legal code for New Mexico and installed Charles Bent, an American trader, as territorial governor. Kearny now received new orders from Washington, promoting him to the rank of brigadier general and instructing him to aid in the conquest of California...As Kearny headed west, resistance to U.S. rule flared in California. As his small force approached San Diego, where it planned to link up with Commodore Robert F. Stockton's marines, Kearny's weary dragoons encountered a force of 150 Californios. At the Battle of San Pascual on December 6, Kearny was seriously wounded and 18 of his men killed. The force was rescued the following day by the timely arrival of a relief column led by Stockton. While the dragoons rested, Stockton prepared to retake Los Angeles. In late December he and Kearny led a joint Army-Navy force of about 600 men out of San Diego. Defeating Mexican and California troops at the battles of Rio San Gabriel and La Mesa, Stockton and Kearny's troops entered Los Angeles. Signing the Treaty of Cahuenga, which ended Californian resistance to U.S. occupation, Stockton turned over military command to Kearny and appointed John C. Fremont governor."- an excerpt from UT Arlington Library's Special Collections, A Continent Divided: The U.S. Mexico War, and with special thanks. Layering each territory boundary by color gives the viewer an instant look at the intense negotiations that took place between Nicholas Trist in pink and the Mexican government in blue. The University of Texas at Arlington writes, "Nicholas P. Trist, the American diplomat who negotiated the treaty that ended the U.S.-Mexico War...Just as he was beginning to enter into negotiations with the provisional Mexican government that had been hastily organized at the town of Querétaro under a new President, Manuel Peña y Peña, Trist received word from Secretary of State James Buchanan that he (Trist) had been recalled by an impatient President Polk. Buchanan's dispatch stated further that if the Mexicans wanted peace, they would have to send an emissary to the United States. Realizing that to abandon his work and leave Mexico at that crucial juncture would almost certainly have negative consequences for both countries, Trist decided to ignore the recall, which General Scott and all three Mexican negotiators, Luis G. Cuevas, Bernardo Couto, and Miguel Atristain, encouraged him to do. On February 2, 1848, Trist signed the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo on behalf of the United States while Cuevas, Couto, and Atristain signed for Mexico. The treaty's most far-reaching provisions included recognition by Mexico of the Rio Grande as the boundary of Texas, the United States government's assumption of $3 million Mexico owed to private U.S. citizens, and Mexico's agreement to sell Upper California and New Mexico, a vast expanse that makes up the present-day states of California, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, New Mexico, and part of Colorado, for $15 million. When the treaty reached Washington, Polk was outraged that Trist, who technically had no authority to make an agreement with Mexico on account of his recall, had ignored the President's order. At first, Polk considered discarding the agreement but realizing that all his principal war goals had been accomplished and that the country was in no mood to prolong the conflict, he sent it to the Senate, which ratified the treaty on March 10, 1848. Both houses of the Mexican Congress ratified it on May 19." -an excerpt from UT Arlington Library's Special Collections, A Continent Divided: The U.S. Mexico War, and with special thanks.Attributed as an eighth edition or later, with special consideration to the appearance of the inset maps in the Gulf of Mexico. This revision containing the inset maps in the Gulf coinciding with the Presidential term of Zachary Taylor and the end of the Mexican-American War.

• HE DOG OGLALA - CA. 1878 WINCHESTER
  HE DOG OGLALA - CA. 1878 WINCHESTER MODEL 1873 SRCThis is a rare Winchester Model 1873 Saddle Ring Carbine serial number 16399 ordered by He Dog, marked “Crazy Horse rode with He Dog” and B.F. Flower 1879. The piece comes accompanied by a signed document from Wendell Grangaard from The Guns of History, Inc. Sioux Falls, South Dakota. The firearm was examined by Wendell Grangaard, author and historian on Custer, the Battle of the Little Bighorn as well as the Togia language. Wendell noted the firearm being marked as such in Togia and English: On the left side of the receiver cover is marked He Dog with an illustration of a dog, below this is “B.F. Flower 1879” and in front of the dog, Crazy Horse rode with He Dog (illustration 1); On the left side of the stock is marked son of He Dog – Eagle Hawk (illustration 2); On the right side of the stock is the signature mark of Standing Bear (illustration 3). It is noted in the signed document that in July 1877, General Crook told Crazy Horse he could have one last buffalo hunt, with the date set for August 15, 1877. Crooks notified the trading post and traders that they were permitted to sell weapons to anyone participating in the buffalo hunt. He Dog ordered and purchased a Winchester from Long Joe Larrabee a French trader from St. Cloud on the Missouri River who had a trading post at Fort Robinson. The hunt was delayed when Crazy Horse was arrested and killed at the Fort on September 5, 1877. After returning from Washington in October 1877, He Dog formed a breakout of Soreback band members and they fled into Canada to join Sitting Bull. He Dog brought his first wife, and left behind his 13-year old son Joseph Eagle Hawk with his second wife, Rock mother to He Dog’s daughter They Keep Her Horse. She stayed with her people the Soreback Hunkpapa Lakota Sioux in the White Clay District on the Pine Ridge Reservation. The gun was delivered to Long Joe Larrabee at his trading post Fort Robinson in the spring of 1878 to He Dog’s wife, Rock. Rock knew the way of the Togia and that “lemita” (my possession) must be placed on the new Winchester carbine, so she asked Standing Bear to inscribe the rifle with her husbands name. The winter of 1878-1879 was long, cold and turbulent causing Rock to need to sell the firearm for necessary supplies for her family. She sold it to a teamster who was hailing supplies to the new Pine Ridge Agency. As part of trading the Winchester , Rock told B.F. Flowers, the teamster, to put his name below her husbands in the tradition of Togia. So he marked the gun B.F. Flowers 1879 below He Dog’s name. B.F. Flowers or B. Franklin Flowers was born on August 2, 1819, and was employed by the Department of the Platte for General Crooks. Flowers hauled supplies out of Fort Omaha, Nebraska. He died on December 21, 1889, and is buried on Lot 079 Pacific Cemetery, Pacific Township, Columbia County, Wisconsin. It is believe He Dog’s son, Joseph Eagle Hawk used the carbine before it was sold to Flowers, as his name is written on the stock in Togia. The Winchester is accompanied with a Winchester Factory Letter noting that this firearm, serial number 16399 as a Carbine shipped May 2, 1878 in Order Number 11740. The firearm is accompanied by the Cody Letter, Signed Provenance Document from Guns of History, and illustrations. The carbine exhibits the saddle ring on the left side, marked on the bottom of the straight grip, “16399”, on the top of the barrel in a two line address “WINCHESTER’S – REPEATING - ARMS. NEW HAVEN, CT / KING’S – IMPROVED – PATENTED – MARCH 29, 1866, OCTOBER 16, 1866” and on the back of the frame tang “MODEL 1873”. Has a tilt up site on the barrel and front barrel band site. Hammer exhibits some case hardening and the receiver some original color. Has a 20 inch long round barrel with full length loading tube. Butte plate is a crescent metal with sliding brass window exposing the metal and brass three piece cleaning rod. The lever lock tab functions. The lever works correctly, rolling down pushing the brass ejector up which loads the next round while also cocking back the hammer. The hammer independently will also click back twice holding into place. The trigger releases the hammer appearing to work correctly. The dust cover is present with oblong oval checkered thumb spot. This is an Antique Firearm that does not require an FFL.
