Colonial Roots

Originally drawn by John Melish in 1820, this handsome full color map depicts the then United States, including many of the discoveries of the Lewis and Clark Expedition in the newly-acquired Missouri Territory. First issued as the great westward migration was beginning, this map will awaken your spirit of adventure, as it did that of our pioneer ancestors. Indian settlements, trails and unexplored areas are identified, as well as the young nation's early road system, and the recent settlements on the frontier.

All maps are reproductions of antique originals measuring 18" by 24" including margins (unless stated otherwise). All are printed on fine quality parchment or equivalent quality paper and all are folded.
