Description
Fine lithographed map of the town of South East. From : "Atlas of New York and vicinity" published by Beers, Ellis & Soule, 95 Maiden Lane, New York.The map provides the names of specific homeowners, as well as information about the occupations and physical locations of the various tradesmen in each village from Beer's famous county atlas "Atlas of New York and vicinity, a documentary record of nineteenth-century life and delightful specimens of American folk art."
F. W. Beers, along with other members of his family, were among the leading county atlas publishers in the period immediately following the Civil War. Their atlases provide "a detailed cartographical, biographical, and pictorial record of a large segment of rural America in the Victorian age" (Ristow).
Beers first published his Atlas of New York & Vicinity in 1867. McCorkle and others have observed that various issues of the atlas were published in that year and the following with significant differences in the number and selection of maps included by the publisher. This was the result of clever marketing by Beers, intending to sell the atlases to customers in specific regions.

De Sota meets the Inca king near Cajamarca.]
When the Spanish arrived in Cajamarca, they found only a few inhabitants. The Inca army was camped in the surrounding hills and the residence of the Inca king, Atahualpa, was a few miles away, so de Soto went ahead to meet him and to announce the arrival in the town of Pizarro and his troops. As de Soto approached, he pulled his stallion to a halt in front of Atahualpa and the foam from the horse’s mouth was said to have flown into the face of the Inca king. Many of the nobles, who had never s...

[The strange sheep-like creatures that carried the silver .]
When the Spanish discovered the silver mines of Potosí, they organised the transport of the rich ore westward by llama trains across the Altiplano and down to Arica on the coast, where it would be transported by ship to Panama. These strange creatures would sit down when angered or overburdened and, neither beatings nor kind words would make the animals get up again. If any of them ran away, they had to be shot to recover their valuable cargo.In 1631, Johann Ludwig Gottfried inherited Theodor D...
