Putting America on the map2007
the story of the most important graphic document in the history of the United States
by Schwartz, Seymour I.
In 1507, a German cartographer working in Saint Die, in the Duchy of Lorraine, created a world map that, for the first time, included the continental landmasses in the Western Hemisphere, discovered within the 15 previous years. Schwartz brings to life the amazing history of America's 'baptismal certificate'.
