Note:
Published by Thomas Crowell & Company to be included in 5 volume "Reader's Bookshelf of American Literature." Pictorial map with state boundaries. Shows some historic locations in addition to purely literary ones. It is not marked as to publisher, designer, cartographer, or distributor, with simplified design and moderate in pictorialization, yet the map highlights the locations of many principal works of American literature, small illustrations, place names, and descriptions. It also includes the birthplaces and homes of several important writers. The base map shows only the 48 lower state boundaries, mountains, and the Great Lakes, but it is fairly colorful in the oceans. It was originally folded into 4 equal size panels. The East Coast, New England, and New York areas are particularly full of wording and short epitaphs relative to American Literature. Relief shown pictorially. Includes list of birth places, dates and historical notes.
