David Rumsey's collection of historical maps is one of the largest and most complete of its kind. The Rumsey collection is focused for the most part on North and South America in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The maps selected in this book tell a hundred distinct, exciting, important, and sometimes controversial stories, along two main paths of inquiry : how did a continental wilderness become a civilization, and how has the development of cartographic science changed the ways we perceive, describe, study, and use that land?
