An Illustrated Historical Atlas of Elkhart County, Indiana

Chicago: Higgins, Belden % Co., 1874 Bound in black cloth with gilt titles, 109 pp plus 2 page maps of Indiana and the Western United States and a single page each of the eastern and Western hemisphere all in color. There are 19 full page color maps with townships taking an entire page and towns and villages two or three to a page. Also there is a two page map of Goshen. Also there are numerous engravings of prominent buildings and farms and histories of the more noteworthy families and founders. Pages are somewhat better than usually found in an atlas from this time period: There is occasional light finger soil to the margins and three small marginal tears not affecting the images. For the covers, the spine has been repaired with black cloth tape and there is edge wear. Again, a good copy in a little better shape than normal.
