Item Details

Description

Scarce and elusive true first printing of Samuel Augustus Mitchell and H. N. Burrough’s 1846 map of North Carolina showing the state’s Gold Region in Rowan and surrounding counties. Gold has been an important part of North Carolina's history since 1799, the date of the first authenticated discovery of gold in the United States. The state was the nation's only gold-producing state from 1803 until 1828, continuing as a leading producer until 1848 when gold was discovered in California just a couple of years after this map was published. Excellent example, with insets of the Gold Region (centered on Cabarrus and Montgomery Co) and the Neuse River and New Berne. Shows towns, roads, railroads, rivers, mountains, lakes, creeks, canals, etc. Canals are noted in red and rail lines and proposed rail lines also shown. The map was first issued by Henry S. Tanner and appears in various formats until the late 1850s. Includes a table of distances and profile of the Dismal Swamp Canal. True first printing with the Carey & Hart decorative border designs that only appear on the first printing maps. Later in 1846 a second printing of the atlas had all the maps with new border designs. Couple of inconsequential spots of foxing near the title. Light toning to edges, typical of Mitchell maps of this era. A lovely, authentic antique first edition/first printing map. 11.5 x 13.75
