These maps cover the story of Spanish, French and English exploration. Five volumes bound in three carry the story of American cartography and exploration through the Civil War. Scholars, collectors and dealers of Western Americana should find this work an essential tool, for Mr. Wheat has produced a work of scholarship that to this day remains without rival in its field.
