Description
This lavish volume charts the course of exploration and settlement in the Americas with maps found in major museums and libraries around the world. Reproduced with painstaking accuracy, the maps are accompanied by scholarly commentary prepared by Egon Klemp, who describes the history of each map and the discoveries that generated it. The maps are grouped by region, placed in chronological order to facilitate reference and comparison, and printed in a limited, numbered edition.
