Additional Details

"The map which accompanied Horace Everett''s report on ''Regulating the Indian Department'' was a highly creditable performance. It not only shows the various Indian land assignments, by tribes west of Arkansas and Missouri, following McCoy, but its maker used Brown''s Santa Fe trail material, and delineated the country to the front wall of the Rockes and Santa Fe with considerable accuracy"--Wheat, TMW, pages 148-149.
