The Southeast in early maps 3rd ed. / rev. and enl. by Louis De Vorsey, Jr.

First published in 1958, The Southeast in Early Maps is William Cumming's classic study of the mapping of the Southeast before the American Revolution. By analyzing printed and manuscript maps of the region in light of other contemporary primary documents, the book traces the expansion of geographical knowledge about the Southeast over the course of its discovery and colonization.

With 124 illustrations - including a gallery of 24 color reproductions of maps selected from the Cumming Collection in the E. H. Little Library at Davidson College - this edition will be a valuable reference for collectors, cartographers, geographers, historians, archaeologists, archivists, librarians, genealogists, and surveyors.
