Second edition of the book, first edition of the map. The first edition of the book and map was 1846; Howes lists editions of 1847, 1848, 1849, 1850 - undoubtedly there were others (see our 1856). The map was also issued separately (see our #4954, 4955). On the map, five vignettes and a decorative border are in the best Smith engraved style. 233 pages of text, black cloth patterned boards 14.5x9.5, with "The Illustrated Hand Book For Travelers Through The United States Of America" in gilt and blind stamped. Map colored in outline.

Note
This edition has the same cover as the "Western Tourist and Emigrant's Guide..." but the title page is different, and the contents are basically the same - Colton issued the two books with different title pages but the same contents and maps - an interesting marketing device. The map adds Minnesota, Nebraska and Kansas to the title and is enlarged and extended west to include the settled eastern counties of Nebraska and Kansas and a portion of Dakota. Fisher's name is added to the title page for the first time, as compiler, something he probably was doing since the Colton editions of the early 1850's. The text is expanded to include Nebraska and Kansas. With map in full color, 49x71, entitled, "Guide Through Ohio, Michigan Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska & Kansas, Showing The Township lines of the United States Surveys ... By J. Calvin Smith ... 1857." Bound with brown cloth with title embossed on cover.
