Note:
Outline color map. The map is dated 1854, but differs from our other 1854 map in Lippincott's Gazetteer in that it shows the new territories of Kansas and Nebraska. This is the latest issue of the map that we have seen. The four inset maps also in outline color are of the Niagara River and Falls; California, Oregon, New Mexico, Utah &c.; the island of Cuba; and the city and harbor of Havana. The guide includes routes, fares, healthful resorts, and statistics. Bound with brown cloth covered boards. Title in gilt with vignettes on cover.
