Drawn at the turning point between colony and republic, Thomas Pownall's A Topographical Description of the Dominions of the United States of America captures a continent in transition. Every river and ridge matters. Written by a former royal governor and ardent observer of the New World, this pioneering work in the historical geography of America offers an exacting colonial American topographical survey of the lands that stretched from the established seaboard to the early American frontier. It explains how coasts, rivers, mountains and portages shaped settlement, trade and defence across the British colonies in North America, and stands alongside the great 18th century North American maps as an essential early US territorial description. For anyone drawn to colonial North America history or the early United States era, it remains a vivid, ground-level portrait of terrain, resources and routes at the dawn of independence. Long regarded as a primary source for historians and a trusted reference book for researchers, Pownall's study underpins much early American frontier mapping and is a keystone of any early American cartography collection. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike. Ideal for armchair travellers, students of geography and genealogy, and as a handsome facsimile edition for collectors, it restores a classic lens on the making of a nation.
