1865. · Philadelphia:
by Mitchell, Samuel Augustus Jr.
Unbound, colored engraved map, decorative border, 14"x 11". Slight toning and aging; a few chips and tears on top margin, overall bright and clear and in very good shape. Maps are wrapped with acid free board, or in rigid sleeves. The Mitchell family started to produce atlases in 1846, and continued into the early 1890s. Around 1860, S. Augustus Mitchell Jr. took over, and the atlas would be called Mitchell's New General Atlas. This is a very colorful and attractive map of Kansas and a couple of western states from the 1865 installment of that atlas. While the map shows mostly Kansas, Nebraska, and Colorado, it also presents a portion of Dakota and Wyoming. For some of these territories this is an early representation. Ristow 311-313.
