Drawing the Line : How Mason and Dixon
                     Surveyed the Most Famous Border in America
                     by Edwin Danson

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0471385026/qid=979830409/sr=2-1/ref=sc_b_1/102-5948666-5963354

The first popular history of the making of the Mason-Dixon Line Originally 
surveyed to
                     settle an eighty-year-old boundary feud, the 
Mason-Dixon Line would come to mark the
                     boundary between free and slave states. The Mason-Dixon 
Line was also one of the
                     greatest scientific achievements of its time. Now, 
Edwin Danson takes the reader on a
                     journey with Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon, two 
young, exuberant English surveyors,
                     through the fields and forests of eighteenth-century 
America.
