Description
Drawn from the Virginia Garrett Cartographic History Library at the University of Texas at Arlington, the maps in this exhibition span the century, from Aaron Arrowsmith’s great 1796 map of the United States to a colorful 1902 map showing not only the American West but also territories acquired by the United States in the Spanish-American War of 1898. Among the rarest of these is a large map of Mexico drawn by John H. Robinson, a medical doctor who accompanied explorer Zebulon Pike’s ill-fated western expedition in 1806–1807.

What would the world be if it didnt have any maps, a cartouche of melted wax and spinning imageless globes...while the maps of a age an era, this is a good event to go to, it is a shame no one really took the time and gave it some backgound, oh well next time and next place, you and anyone should see this kind of event, it could exspand your mind on a world of events, until then Alexander Troup, Historian.
