"Geographical, Historical, and Statistical Map of New Hampshire", Carey & Lea

This map of the Granite State is on a full folio sheet (20.4 x 16.5") with surrounding text describing boundaries, climate, natural curiosities, chief towns, religion, commerce, government, history, and more interesting information. The state is up to date with six counties delineated. A list of governors beneath the map spans from John Cutts in 1680 to Samuel Bell in 1821. The historical sketch details New Hampshire's history from John Smith's discovery to statehood, concluding with the following: "Since the adoption of the federal constitution, no event of historical importance has occurred in New Hampshire." Battles with Indians are marked with flags around Dover and Charlestown. Engraved by Young & Delleker.

This map was previously part of the Credit Suisse Americana Collection.
