About this title

Synopsis

An authoritative catalog of maps and archival material that reveals how Spanish exploration shaped the present United States.

The book gathers Woodbury Lowery’s collected materials and describes the maps, transcripts, and notes that informed his historical work on Spanish settlements. It highlights Lowery’s years of research, his travels to archives in Europe and the Americas, and the careful indexing and description that give sense to a deep scholarly effort. This edition also preserves the biographical material and context that surrounded his lifelong pursuit of primary sources.

Readers gain a window into the sources behind the history, including how maps were used to illuminate territory, voyages, and colonial boundaries. The catalog notes the scope of the map collection and situates the material within Florida, New Mexico, and related territories, with reference to the major mapmakers and editions of the era.

Describes 750 maps, with 306 in the Lowery collection, 206 not in the collection but in the Library’s Map Division, and 184 in neither.
Offers biographical sketches and context for Lowery’s archival work and methods.
Cites maps and sources from prominent atlas publishers and navigators across Europe and the Americas.
Provides historical framing for the study of early Spanish presence in the region, including discussions of Florida and other territories.

Ideal for readers of cartography, American history, librarians, and students seeking primary-source context for early American maps.

Store Description

Seit �ber 30 Jahren handeln wir mit B�chern. Begonnen hat alles als kleiner Fachbuchhandel in Berlin. Heute sind wir spezialisiert auf den An- und Verkauf gebrauchter B�cher. Noch immer liegt unser Fokus dabei auf den Kategorien: Fachbuch und englischsprachige Literatur. Hinzu kommen B�cher aus allen anderen Genres, wie Belletristik, Biografien oder Kinderb�cher. Unser oberstes Ziel ist dabei die Weiterverwendung von Dingen und die Schonung von Ressourcen. Neben dem Ankauf von privaten B�chern oder Haushaltsaufl�sungen kaufen wir bundesweit komplette Bibliotheken und Buchbest�nde von Institutionen auf, um diese nachhaltig ein weiteres Mal auf den Markt zu bringen. Parallel dazu bietet Buchpark die M�glichkeit, gro�e Mengen einzulagern. Ganze Bibliotheken und umfangreiche Buchbest�nde werden von uns professionell auf Qualit�tsmerkmale hin untersucht und sorgf�ltig f�r den Onlinehandel aufbereitet. Wir schenken B�chern ein zweites Leben.
