Description

Maps published frorn the third quarter of the eighteenth century through the Civil War reflect in colorful detail the emergence of the Commonwealth of Kentucky and the unfolding art of American cartography. Ten maps, selected and annotated by the most eminent historian of Kentucky, have been reproduced in authentic facsimiles. The accompanying booklet includes an illuminating historical essay, as well as notes on the individuaL facsimiles, and is illustrated with numerous details of other notable Kentucky maps.

Among the rare maps reproduced are one of the battlefield of Perryville (1877), a colorful travelers’ map (1839), and a map of the Falls of the Ohio (1806) believed to be the first map printed in Kentucky.
