EARLY ILLINOIS PLAT BOOK.

Schätzpreis

Zuschlagspreis:
n. a.
Beschreibung:

A manuscript plat book of Mason County, Illinois, c. 1841-1845, containing 20 hand-drawn plat maps, 195 x 162 mm, drawn on linen backed pages, and bound in contemporary hand-sewn linen wrappers, some soiling to wraps, first leaf with toning and a marginal stain, but the rest of the maps are clean. A VERY EARLY PLAT BOOK OF MASON COUNTY, which was created out of portions of Menard and Tazewell counties in 1841. Menard had been created from Sangamon county in 1839, where Abraham Lincoln had lived from 1831-1837, and worked as a surveyor. The plats reflect topographical features and include in some plats the names of the owners who had purchased or settled. However, most of the tracts are unnamed, indicating a date closely following the creation of the county in 1841. Sold with an archive of correspondence investigating the possibility that the maps were drawn by Lincoln, but it's not his autograph, and the maps post-date his work as a surveyor.
