      abstract = {This collection chronicles the cartographic history of the  western United States from 1524 to 1890. The book begins  with a look at the European powers' (Spain, France,  England) efforts to comprehend their far-flung colonies,  then directs our attention toward U.S. Government and  military maps made by such notables as Lewis and Clark,  Robert E. Lee, and C.T. Beauregard. Also included are maps  by American Indians, maps that highlight the epicenter of  the California gold rush, and maps that delineate the  proposed and final courses of the transcontinental  railroad, to mention only a few of the areas discussed.  Many maps are here shown for the first time, most for the  first time in color. Filled with fascinating historical  anecdote and detailed scholarship, this is a work for map  lovers and history buffs alike.--From publisher  description.},
