A Military and Topographical Atlas of the United States

This is a working copy of the first edition of *A Military and Topographical Atlas of the United States*, printed by G. Palmer in Philadelphia in 1813. This copy belonged to Mordecai Myers, a captain in the 13th Infantry during the War of 1812, and contains numerous annotations in pencil and ink, primarily within the register of the army. The book originally included eight large fold-out maps, but this copy is missing all of them. It also contains a bookplate from the Library of Congress noting the missing maps, as well as several inscriptions from Myers' ownership and subsequent family members.
