Moses Greenleaf made the first map of Maine after its statehood in 1820. Given that the only book on Greenleaf dates back to 1902, author Walter M. MacDougall began his research for this book. Settling the Maine Wilderness, is the culmination of over twenty-five years of research and writing carried out during breaks from teaching at the University of Maine. By examining the cultural milieu of his time, MacDougall places Greenleaf's contributions within the context of Maine's growth and development during its formative years from province to statehood. A publication of University of Southern Maine's Osher Map Library and Smith Center for Cartographic Education, this book contains color maps and pictures. Paperback; 154 pages.
