Additional Information
Produced by noted Swiss-American politician, diplomat, ethnologist, and linguist Albert Gallatin, this unique depiction of the indigenous tribes of North America in the seventeenth century bears a distinctive aesthetic and classic style. Gallatin is considered America’s Swiss Founding Father, and he established the iconic New York University. Gallatin’s work in cartography and politics helped shape the early portions of the United States. His illustrated map documenting the tribes of North America served to show the migration and cultural traditions from the 1600s on. While the Atlantic Coast had been well established, Lewis & Clark’s expedition to the Pacific Northwest had illuminated other tribes and peoples across the vast Western portion of the United States.
Gallatin uses distinct colors to show tribal lands, cultural boundaries and also illustrates geographic features across the Atlantic seaboard. The rich tribal history of the Eastern United States was well documented during the nineteenth century as treaties, and land negotiations between settlers and native peoples caused a shift in demographics across America. Gallatin’s production is well regarded as a critical part of American cartographical history.
Gallatin was integral to negotiating the Louisiana Purchase and was an ardent believer that control of the Port in New Orleans was crucial for westward expansion and promoting Manifest Destiny. He also believed in heavy investment in infrastructure like canals and roads to further connect the United States. This production is notable as it extends from the southern portions of Florida to the Arctic Circle and the Hudson Bay.
