Description

Interesting early map of North America, pre-dating the discoveries of Lewis & Clark. The Rocky Mountains are a single Cordillera, from Canada to the Gila River. The Missouri extends speculatively into the Snake Nation. Louisiana Territory dominates the mid-continent. East and West Florida are shown, as is Texas (an early appearance as a placename). Pimeria, Apacheria, Nabaho and several western tribes appear, as do tribes in the Mississippi Valley. The treatment of the NW Coast post-dates Vancouver. The reports of MacKenzie and Hearne have interesting treatment, with a note naming the Dog Ribb'd Indians. Primitive NW Coast. A nice early map, immediately prior to the departure of Lewis & Clark.

Partie de la carte du Capitaine Cluny Autur d'un ouvrage anglois intitule American Traveller . . . 1769

This is an interesting map of America and parts of Europe and Asia, based upon a possible voyage by the Captain Cluny. This figure was a legendary sea captain of the Hudson Bay Company, who was thought to have reached as far as 82.5° N during an early voyage in the 1740s. Two marks on the map show the passage of Cluny's ships in the North Atlantic, indicating a shipwreck near Spitsbergen and a stretch of ice-free ocean they discovered far to the north of the archipelago. Text on the map suggests that this work was based on a map in the American Traveller, a tale of sea voyages supposedly by Cluny himself.
