The map was purportedly drawn to show the location of the future FDR Library at Hyde Park, NY. How about a ms. map prepared for -- and transmitted to -- George Washington indicating the defenses pf Princeton, NJ only four days before the Continental Army's Jan 3, 1777 attack on Princeton ? If either items matches your criteria contact me directly and we can discuss this, and other possibilities, offline.

The book is based on my web project, the Hand Drawn Map Association, and focuses on maps that people draw for one another to provide directions or tell a story. Most of the maps in the collection are by non-professionals, but I'm interested in framing the book in the larger context of the human desire to record the world around us. To that end, I'm looking for some historical or contemporary maps that are specifically sketched or drawn by hand - not necessarily well executed manuscript maps - but maps that are more crude, rough, gestural, etc. I'm specifically interested in maps that are drawn by well known individuals. Again, I would greatly appreciate any help you can provide. Thanks, Kris Harzinski Hand Drawn Map Association http://www.handmaps.org [log in to unmask]
