This small, handsome map is from one of the earliest books on the Kansas and Nebraska territories. The map extends from Fort Leavenworth west to Salt Lake City and from the Missouri Compromise Line north to the Canadian border. The recently established Nebraska Territory includes present-day North and South Dakota, Wyoming, and Montana. The routes of Governor Steven and Colonel Fremont's respective railroad surveys are traced, and several forts are named. Edward Everett Hale was a passionate partisan of Free Soil, attempting to encourage anti-slavery New Englanders to settle in Kansas and Nebraska.
