Antique Maps of The United States - Wisconsin CD: Antique Maps of The United States Wisconsin CD |
| Product Description : "I am yet to see a more delightful way of reviewing 19th century history of Wisconsin than by examining these fascinating maps. This absorbing set of antique drawings delightfully acquaints you with the gradual transformation of Wisconsin, as people shifted their focus from a rural way of life to urban living, from farming to industrialization. It also recounts the significant role waterways played in the early history of the state, bringing hordes of settlers to its fertile valleys and plains in ships of all descriptions. For those who love Mark Twain?s writings, these maps provide a fabulous insight into the settings for many of Tom Sawyer?s and Huck Finn?s escapades. One striking aspect of these maps is the intricate detail included in each drawing. So vivid is the imagery that you can almost see - as if on a slow motion film - cities and towns mushrooming in what were once virgin grasslands. You hear the giant steamships chug along rivers and lakes with their loads of eager settlers and the rhythmic clip clopping of horse?s hoofs on cobbled streets. I was transported to a different world as I poured over the details of each of the 62 high-resolution maps included here and it took me a while to get my bearings when I finally switched off my PC. This CD is a treat for all history buffs and arts students, and is a must-have for all collectors of antique maps." |
