A. Campaigns of the American Revolution - An Atlas of Manuscript Maps, by Douglas W. Marshall and Howard H. Peckham, published 1976 (10.1 x 13.3"). Published just in time for the United States Bicentennial, this informative reference atlas reproduces original materials related to the Revolutionary War that were drawn by cartographers and the witnesses present on the battlefields. It is illustrated with reproductions of manuscript maps from American and English archives. The illustrations are in color and black and white, with color pictorial endpapers. 138 pages. Hardbound with gilt lettering on spine and an illustrated dust jacket, protected by Mylar.

B. The United States in Old Maps and Prints, by Eduard Van Ermen, published 1990 (12.1 x 15.2"). This beautifully illustrated book features 78 rich, colorful reproductions of maps of the United States covering three centuries, from 1570 to 1870. A terrific reference for an important subject that is described by the author as follows, "Whereas in Europe the primary task of cartography was to visualize a densely populated and long-known continent, in America the challenge was much greater: the growth of cartography went hand in hand with the exploration and colonization the previously unknown continent." Hardbound in tan cloth with gilt titles on cover and spine and an illustrated dust jacket. 144 pages.
