In den WarenkorbHardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very good. xii, [4], 380, [4] pages. Map. Selected Bibliography. Index. DJ has slight wear and soiling. Terry Pindell is an American travel writer known primarily for three North American 'rail odysseys', through the USA, Canada and Mexico, each of which became the subj…ect of a travel book. He has also written a book on migration within the United States. The Toledo Blade said of his first book, Making Tracks: "Not since John Steinbeck's Travels with Charley has anyone put together a better story about America on the road." He is the grandson of a railroad engineer. Derived from a Kirkus review: Pindell rides ``the steel of Canada'' for a year. To Canada, railways have had an importance far beyond transportation needs. Pindell describes the role that trains and tracks have played in Canadian history. But he is also set on a little pulse-taking, so he talks to his fellow passengers who tell him about their lives, their politics, and their views on the US. Pindell begins with a trip from Toronto to Winnipeg on the Canadian. He ends a year later with the Canadian's last run from Vancouver to Toronto--a victim of cutbacks. In between, Pindell travels northwest as far as Prince Rupert; to Gaspe, where the people are predominantly French; to Churchill, where polar bears gather to hunt seals--and to wherever else all the other lines that still carry passengers over the Rockies and through the Maritimes take him. A sturdy piece of travel writing: readable, informative, and a railway buff's delight. First Edition [Stated], First Printing [Stated].

In den WarenkorbVery good. Light wear along original fold lines. Size 7.75 x 10.5 Inches. This is a beautifully hand-colored c. 1757 Jacques Nicolas Bellin map of Bombay (Mumbai), India. Bellin's map illustrates Bombay as it was becoming the British East India Company's primary base of operations in India, replacing Surat to the north. A Closer… Look The map is oriented towards the east, with north at left. The seven main islands of Bombay are illustrated and labeled, along with portions of the mainland coast. The British trading post and fort, at the site of an earlier Portuguese fort, are indicated at the southern end of Bombay Island. A Jesuit mission appears at left, while several structures and a town appear on Salsette Island, retained by the Portuguese after the islands to the south were turned over to the British and then ceded to the Maratha Confederacy. Soundings, anchorages, shoals, and hazards appear in the bay as navigation aids. Historical Context Bombay was at this time under lease to the East India Company from the British Crown, who had acquired the islands from Portugal as part of the marriage agreement between Charles II and Princess Catherine of Braganza. With easy access to the Persian Gulf - Indian Ocean trade route, Bombay quickly became a busy harbor town and an important center for British commerce. More broadly, India was undergoing important transitions at this time that would eventually open the door to British dominance on the subcontinent. Namely, the Mughals were largely displaced by the Marathas and Sikhs, who were the most powerful opponents of later British expansion. Thornton's Map Despite being a center of trade, early maps of Bombay are surprisingly scarce. For this map, Bellin had to use the late 17th-century map of Samuel Thornton. Thornton's map is the earliest known printed map of Bombay and is today, for all intents and purposes, unobtainable (a 1711 printing of Thornton's map was previously sold by us). All subsequent maps of Bombay until the late 18th century were based exclusively on the Thornton map. Bellin's small map, here, is no exception, and Thornton's work can be seen in its general layout as well as in the soundings, anchorages, and annotations. Publication History and Census This map was drawn by Jacques Nicolas Bellin and published as plate No. 1 in Vol. 9 of the Abbé Provost's L'Histoire Générale des Voyages . As the map is undated and Provost's book was published in multiple editions from the mid-late 18th century, it is difficult to know its date with certainty, but it closely resembles other editions that have been dated to the mid-18th century (later editions rotated the map to align on a north-south axis).

In den WarenkorbExcellent. Size 10.5 x 16.75 Inches. This is a 1782 Pierre-Marie-François Pàges map of Bombay, India, and its vicinity. Produced near the end of the First Anglo-Maratha War, this map is uncommon in that it details not just the British fortification on Bombay Island, but also the surrounding Gujarat countryside and communities. A… Closer Look Oriented to the east, coverage embraces from the fortified Gujarati city of Surat to the British Fort George on Bombay Island. Several Gujarati villages to the north and east of Bombay are noted. There are a few depth soundings marking approaches to Fort George. On Salcet (Salsette), the cartographer notes and partially illustrates a ruined monument marking the farthest point of Alexander the Great's conquests. We have found no other references to this monument. Historical Context This map was published when First Anglo-Maratha War (1775-1782) was culminating. The conflict was as much a battle within the British East India Company (EIC) as between it and the Marathas. Although nominally vassals of the Mughals, the Maratha Confederacy or Maratha Empire had largely displaced the Mughals in central India and dominated what remained of the once-great empire. Thus, as British interest and influence expanded on the Indian subcontinent in the 18th century, it was in tandem with the rise of the Marathas, whom they eyed warily. Most importantly, the EIC wanted to prevent the Marathas from allying with the French, with whom they were competing for influence in India, quite successfully after sidelining them in the Battle of Plassey in 1757. In the mid-1770s, the EIC in Bombay brazenly intervened in a succession struggle among the Marathas, backing Raghunathrao to succeed as Peshwa (Prime Minister) and signing with him the Treaty of Surat in 1775, which granted the EIC the island of Salsette and the fort of Bassein or Vasai (here as Baçain). However, the Bombay Presidency had not cleared this action with the Calcutta Council to which it was subordinate. This dispute within the EIC was set against the backdrop of greater efforts by the British Parliament to control the fantastically wealthy, powerful, and corrupt company, codified in the Regulating Act of 1773 (which subordinated Bombay to Calcutta) and the appointment of the hard-nosed, austere, Indophile Warren Hastings as Governor-General. Therefore, in 1776, almost a year to the day after the Treaty of Surat, the EIC in Calcutta annulled that treaty and signed the Treaty of Purandhar with the Marathas. However, the Bombay Presidency refused to recognize this new treaty and gave refuge to Raghunathrao. This action led the Marathas to actually seek an alliance with the French, which raised British hackles across the board, especially given the tumultuous state of their colonies in North America, an important market for EIC tea and other goods. Although the alliance did not materialize, the Maratha attempt to grant the French a port on the west coast of India led the EIC in Bombay to launch an attack on the Marathas and try to install Raghunathrao as Peshwa. But this went horribly wrong, and the British force (which was, in fact, mostly composed of Indian sepoys) was forced to surrender at the Battle of Wadgaon in January 1779. Afterwards, Hastings assembled reinforcements and sent them to Bombay to regain control of the situation, against the Marathas and his own wayward subordinates. After two years of inconclusive, see-sawing fighting, Hastings and the Marathas signed the Treaty of Salbai with Maratha commander Mahadaji Shinde, which mostly restored the status quo ante (though giving the British Salsette), committed the Marathas to fighting Mysore (which was nominally aligned with the Marathas but had battled both them and the EIC in the recent past), and dispelled any talks of a Maratha-French alliance or French outposts in Maratha territory. Superficially, this treaty was a confirmation of Maratha power and suited both sides, as they did not g. Signed by Author(s).
