COLTON, J.H.

Territories of New Mexico and Utah

J. H. Colton, 1856.

Map. Engraving with original hand coloring. Image measures 13" x 15.75".

Beautiful map of the Territories of New Mexico and Utah divided into counties. Shows towns, major routes and trails, proposed railroad lines and very detailed geographical features and waterways. A fascinating illustration of the changing western boundaries: Utah was granted statehood in 1896 and New Mexico and Arizona in 1912. Minor overall toning, small stain to lower left margin, creases to come corners. The Colton family was one the most prolific and successful publishers of maps and atlases in the United States. J.H. Colton (1800-1893) founded his business in NYC in 1831.

I couldn't believe how fast you sent me this wonderful item! I didn't expect it to have anything on children's cookery (my focus), but because Juliet Corson is SO important, I bought it. What a surprise to find a "Boys' and Girls' Kitchen" column, and a tiny personal fact about J's childhood. I hit the lottery, so to speak. I'm ordering tons of diamonds to fall from the sky on you some lovely warm day. Don't I wish I could do that...

You've got yourself one happy customer at this end, folks. I've been looking for another copy of "West of the Indus" for nearly twenty years (I know, it's such a cultural wasteland out here in the provinces), and I never expected to find one with a dust jacket. I am amazed. Thank you so much. I've enjoyed many books over the years, but this one has always been one of my favorites. Now if I can just figure out how to share it with my friends without losing it...
