A Map of the Interior of North America. Engraved map. Boston: Annin & Smith, [1820]. 1 page, 18 15/16 x 7 3/4 in. 
 

FROM Daniel W. Harmon. A Journal of Voyages and Travels in the Interiour of North America. Andover: Flagg & Gould, 1820. FIRST EDITION. Field 656; Graff 1786; Greenhow, p. 291; Howes H-205; Lande 1215; Pilling 1664; Sabin 30404; Streeter 3691; Wagner-Camp 17.

 

An attractive and important map from the engaging journal recorded and published by Daniel Williams Harmon (1778-1843). A fur trader from Vermont who began working for the North West Company in April 1800 and traveled west throughout the American and Canadian frontiers. After arriving in British Columbia in 1809, he served for a decade at Forts Saint James and Fraser. The 1820 book from which this map originates is well regarded despite some interference by editor Daniel Haskel (c.f. Field & Howes). 

 

The map is a sweeping cartographic depiction of the territory that would eventually become the western United States and Canada. The various Native Americans and their territories are boldly marked among rivers and lakes.
