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.
