1838 ILLINOIS Mitchell Geography & Atlas HUGE MAP Chicago Emigrant Western RARE
The name Mitchell has long been synonymous with 19th-century maps; in fact, Mitchell maps are often considered the best of atlas maps from the 1800s. Early in his career S Augustus Mitchell Sr published what became an important geographical history of Illinois, titled "Illinois in 1837". It, as expected, described the physical landscape of Illinois offering notes on prominent cities, rivers, animals, landmarks, public places, and even practical suggestions for emigrants to Illinois. The book saw such success that Mitchell published it again the following year, changing the title slightly to "Illinois in 1837 & 8".
