Additional Details



The map, titled A Map of the Western parts of the Colony of Virginia, is derivative of the larger map published in the London edition of Washington's journal, but only depicts as far west as the junction of the Ohio and Kunhanray Rivers. This extract of the famous journal, first printed in Williamsburg, is not noted by the usual bibliographies.
