- Lot Description
Colton's United States shewing the military stations, Forts &c.
By J. H. Colton, New York. c.1861-62. Printed by Lang & Laing, Lith. 117 Fulton St. N.Y.
Stone engraving.
Image 14 x 24 1/2" (35.6 x 62.3 cm) plus decorative border and margins.
This map appeared in a c.1862 Colton's "General Atlas" as a possible replacement for their earlier map of the United States first issued in 1855. The title notes that it shows the military stations and forts which are delineated with a small flag. The Library of Congress shows an example of this map with a date of 1861 and the flags colored. There are also other small differences within the map itself, forts moved, a dotted line between Denver City, Pike's Peak and Salt Lake City. During the war the demand for maps by the public was almost insatiable. The publishers rushed to fill the demand but many of the maps were outdated almost as soon are they were issued. Many of the maps issued often came in many states or variant editions as the publishers rushed to keep them up to date. This map did not have a long issue life and is considered to be unusual and rare.
