Pub Note:
The second edition. The title page is different from the 1867 edition, using the same vignette of five women, various cherubs, globes, etc. that appears on the Chapin U.S. Map and the Tunison atlases. Many of the U.S. maps differ also, being perhaps cut from a different wall map than that used in the 1867 edition. The Map of "California and the Western Territories" is totally different from the map of different title covering about the same area in the 1867 atlas. Wheat cited the 1867 issue of this map, but not this 1865 issue - it is far simpler and more schematic in style, and it shows a huge Idaho taking up all of present day Idaho and Wyoming. All the borders are interlocking "L" with circles at the corners, except for Texas and Illinois, which have the later 1867 border of leaves and squares with initial "S" at the corners. See the 1867 edition for sources of the maps. At the end is an untitled double page map of the area from Washington south to Richmond, Virginia, showing the seat of war - this must be the same map as Stephenson 498, with the title trimmed off to fit in the atlas. Full color.
