About This Item
Cooperstown: New York State Historical Association, 1943. VG, slightly bowed, usual library markings. An uncommon analysis of the voting of the Continental Congresses during the Revolutionary War era. Over 500 small b&w map plates with applicable information (very small print), detailing all votes and regional variations. Errata slip bound in. Lord had extensive experience in the production of US historical atlases, and was director of the New York State Historical Association. He was co-author, in 1943, of 'The Historical Atlas of the Unitd States' (mentioned in Black's MAPS AND HISTORY...). The publication here was compiled by the Historical Records Survey, organized in 1935 to"provide useful employment to needy unemployed historians, lawyers, teachers, and research and clerical workers."The intent was to map selected critical congressional votes of the era, which was expanded to include all roll-call votes at the time. There is a detailed introduction and explanation for the atlas, written by Lord. This is a small elephant folio volume, and would be a nice adjunct for the study of the times of the Continental Congress and their functions.. Cloth. Very Good/No Jacket. Elephant Folio - over 15" - 23" tall. Ex-Library.
