MAPPING THE UNITED STATES 1600-1900
JOHN RENNIE SHORT

[...]

Maps tell us a great deal about the transformation of America's
national identity. Having undertaken extensive research in map
collections, including work with rare archival materials, prominent
geographer John Rennie Short provides an account of how maps have both
embodied and reflected power, conflict and territorial expansion over
time, opening a new perspective on North American history and
geography.
