Description
A rare and important 1823 first edition Henry Schenck Tanner map of North Carolina and South Carolina. Also included are adjacent parts of Georgia, Tennessee, and Virginia. When this map was illustrated, it represented the finest atlas map of these states then obtainable. It includes a wealth of important firsts, such as the addition of Haywood county (founded in 1808). In addition, it features an impressive richness of detail, naming mills, iron works, forts, battle grounds, places of worship, public houses, roads, ferries, and falls. The map remained definitive until new more details maps were produced after the American Civil War.
