HISTORY OF AMERICA IN 100 MAPS (HB)

Whether made for military strategy or urban reform, to encourage settlement or to investigate disease, maps have the power to illuminate and complicate our understanding of the past. In this richly visual narrative, acclaimed historian Susan Schulten explores five centuries of American history. Most of the maps in this book are from the British Library collection, the richest storehouse of American mapping outside North America. Many have not been reproduced before.
