"Mitchell's National Map of the American Republic or United States of North America, Together with Maps of the Vicinities of Thirty-Two of the Principal Cities and Towns in the Union", Mitchell, Samuel Augustus

Very fine wall map drawn by J.H. Young and engraved by J.H. Brightly. A remarkable map that extends into Texas, Indian Territory, and Minnesota with a large unorganized area to the west labeled Dacotah or Sioux. Large insets within the map include the State of Texas and another of Oregon Territory. The map is very detailed with hundreds of place names, plus roads, villages, railroads, ports, etc. A table gives the 1840 population of 120 cities and another gives the states' population of Whites, Free Blacks and Slaves. The state of New Hampshire is listed with only one slave. All surrounded by a wide decorative border, which surrounds another border composed of detailed plans of 32 important cities. An exceptional map that is in remarkable original condition. Should not be confused with the smaller (24 x 34") map of the same title.
