Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

Good. Sporadic foxing. Size 10.75 x 12.5 Inches. An example of Jeremiah Greenleaf's 1849 map of Arkansas, published in his New Universal Atlas , depicting the state soon after its ascension to the Union. A Closer Look Greenleaf depicts the new state with color-coding at the county level, waterways, towns, roads, swamps, mountains, salt works, sulfur springs, and other features noted throughout. Black dashed lines outline the state's land districts (Helena, White River, Fayetteville, Red River, and Arkansas), each of which contained a land office tasked with surveying the lands therein. Hot Springs, at left, had only been discovered by non-native Americans in 1804 but quickly developed into a resort for convalescents and tourists. In 1832, the lands around the spring were designated as a reservation by the U.S. Congress, the first instance of the federal government protecting lands and an important precursor to the National Park system. Historical Context This map was produced soon after Arkansas joined the Union in 1836. The preceding years had been tumultuous, with large-scale immigration and the confinement or removal of Native Americans. The issue of slavery was also deeply divisive during Arkansas' territorial and early statehood period, with wealthy plantation owners in the southeast strongly favoring it and small-scale farmers in the northwest (including a population of free Black farmers) being indifferent or opposed to slavery. As was the case nationally, the question of slavery also had implications for political representation, and a solution similar to the Three-Fifths Compromise in the U.S. Constitution was brokered at the state level. Arkansas, and particularly the state's southwest, was also important in the years prior to this map's publication as a conduit for migrants, goods, and weapons to Texas, and it has been proposed by at least some historians that Sam Houston and his comrades may have first discussed plans for the Texas Revolution in a tavern in the town of Washington in 1834. Publication History and Census This map was published by Jeremiah Greenleaf in the scarce 1849 (last) edition of his New Universal Atlas . It is based on David Burr's 1835 original, which was published in the latter's atlas of the same name, before being inherited and updated by Greenleaf, who published it in several editions in the 1840s.
