Pub Note:
Has letter from J.H. Colton to his Pastor tipped in. Phillips shows 1860 and 1864 editions, with none in between. Colton might not have published the General Atlas in this period because of the Family Atlas collaboration with Johnson (just saw an 1862 & 1863 listed in World - Brit Museum, but maybe small editions were run?). That collaboration ended in 1863 (we believe) when Colton's name was dropped from the direct title page credits. Ristow states (p325) that Colton retired in 1864, and the General Atlas thereafter was published by G.W. & C.B. Phillips does not list this 1865 (which has J.H. as publisher) but has 1866 (P6155) published by G.W. & C.B. Colton adds the "Johnson" western states maps in this edition (and may have done this also in 1864), while Johnson drops them in 1864 and replaces them with maps of unknown source. Full color used to differentiate the political boundaries.
