An engraved map, with hand colored wash

Size: 8-3/4 inches X 11-1/4 inches

Map Type: Book

This is a superior copy, with strong engraving and vivid colors.

The map appeared in J.W. Monette’s History of the Discovery and Settlement of the Valley of the Mississippi... . The map is a colonization map based on Bradford’s 1835 map of pre-republic Texas and indicates some confusion about the southern border which are displayed on both the Rio Bravo (Rio Grande) as well as the Nueces river. There are many notes such as "droves of wild cattle and horses", "Mexican garrison", "Elevated Prairies", and "Pawnee Indians", along with indications of exiting towns and the few roads. The map was engraved by W.Kemble, who also engraved the Texas map in Kendall’s Narrative of the Texan Santa Fé Expedition.
