"Esquisse du Muskinghum [on sheet with] Esquisse du Sioto [and] Esquisse de la Riviere du Grand Castor", Crevecoeur, Michel Guillaume De

Interesting map from Crevecoeur's important early collection of essays (Letters from an American Farmer). The sheet contains three separate maps showing the Indian villages in the region of the Ohio River. Crevecoeur was a French-born surveyor who settled in New York, where he produced this classic collection of twelve essays that reflected on the nature of American life, particularly its customs and manners. His description of bountiful American lands spurred many French people to immigrate to America. Engraved by P.F. Tardieu.
