Includes a fine Independent Republic of Texas map. Hardbound in cloth with quarter leather spine and corners, frontispiece (Boston), title page, List of Maps, maps. Small puncture to blank page between the "Iowa and Wisconsin" and "Texas" maps. Most maps are copyrighted late 1830's by either Bradford or Thomas Gordan and engraved by G.W. Boynton.
