| Popis: | After the Revolutionary War concluded, the United States found itself holding clear title to much of North America. The first American to delineate this vast territory was engraver and counterfeiter Abel Buell, whose “Map of the United States” is a legendary rarity. This article provides an account of the map and gives a history of the seven surviving copies. |
