The first edition by Desilver with a preface by him, and a catalogue of Desilver/Mitchell pocket maps, wall maps, and atlas. Entered in 1855, the catalogue indicates this may have been issued by Desilver as early as late 1854. The text has been substantially altered and the map shows a great number of new proposed railroads compared to the 1854 map in the 1853 guide. Outline color. Covers are black stamped leather with "Mitchell's New Traveler's Guide Through The United States" and a beautiful illustration of a steam boat, bridge and train stamped in gilt.
