Pub Note:
First edition. A second issued was published in 1857. Heaston mentions an 1854 edition by Morse and Gaston. This 1856 issue by Wells is the same as the 1856 issue by Morse and Gaston. This map is similar to Colton's 1854 Nebraska and Kansas in its showing of a large portion of the adjoining states and territories. And like Colton, it is taken directly from a wall map, in this case Morse and Gaston's Our County, Present and Prospective 1856 (see our #2650). Full color. Folded into stamped red cloth covers 13x8.5 titled "Kansas And Nebraska J.G. Wells" in gold.
