Edición de la obra Astonished Traveler

The author's inexhaustive research into the subject is astounding and enlightening. William Darby made considerable contributions to the early mapping of the state of Louisiana as well as many other regions including Pennsylvania. His work was used by other unscrupulous editors and mapmakers, who gave themselves credit for Darby's work. Anyone interested in early geography and mapping of the United States will find this book a goldmine.
