About this Item
Handcolored pocket map, 31 x 23 inches. In original 6 x 4-inch green cloth folder, gilt. A few small separations at corner folds, else fine. Color bright and fresh. With the bookplate and penciled annotations of Thomas W. Streeter. In a half morocco and cloth box, spine gilt. The Streeter copy of this scarce map of Eastern Nebraska, showing the beginning of the Oregon Trail. "This map, showing Nebraska townships to 97.5° and extending to about 98° 20' was evidently issued for J.B. Snow of Otoe, Nebraska, since the 'Great Emigrant rout [sic] to California and Oregon via Ft. Kearney' starts at Otoe, a town no longer in existence, located across the Missouri from the Iowa-Missouri state line. This is an early and good large scale map of eastern Nebraska" - Streeter. Fairly scarce - not in Rumsey or Phillips, and only five copies located in OCLC. The Nebraska Rare Book company bought the Streeter copy for $50 in 1968. It reappeared at Swann Galleries in 2001, where collector Bruce McKinney paid $5040 for it. The Reese Company later bought it from him. STREETER SALE 2003. Seller Inventory # WRCAM43692
