The first letter, dated February 18, 1819, is addressed to John Torrey, and describes the possible forms of payment for prospective naturalists participating in Long's upcoming expedition: "It is left optionary with ourselves, whether a pecuniary consideration shall be allowed, or the Naturalists have the privilege of making any disposition they may deem proper, of the Curiosities &c., that we may collect. The utmost compensation that can be allowed is $2.00 per Day and one Ration..." The second letter, dated June 19, 1819, is a copy of official orders from Long to botanist William Baldwin, who participated-- and died-- on that expedition.

This book was released on 1995-04-01 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Major Stephen H. Long of the United States Army was the most important government-sponsored explorer in the decade after the War of 1812. He led three major and several minor expeditions up the Mississippi, Missouri, and Arkansas rivers and the Red River of the north, as well as exploring the central and southern Plains, the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains, and the Great Lakes. His campanions included engineers, cartographers, Naturalists, ethnologists, and artists, and they gathered a wealth of scientific, military, and artistic data about the interior of North America. For years Long’s expeditions have been overlooked or misunderstood; here for the first time they are placed in the context of American scientific development.
