Andrew Ellicott: His Life and Letters

by Catharine Van Cortlandt Mathews, Pat Hutchison Roberts (Foreword)

Perhaps more than any other single person in our history, Andrew Ellicott, America's Geographer-General, helped define exactly what this country was to become by precisely setting the boundaries between the states and defining the actual national borders. This book, a reprint of a limited edition published in 1908, is a collection of this fascinating historic figure's letters, drawings, and diary entries, illustrating the unfolding history of a young and growing nation.
