Publication Note: Froiseth's first map is actually three maps on one sheet, with a portrait of Brigham Young. Moffat lists two editions of this map, one published by the Skandinavisk Post (this copy) and another by Am. Photo-Lithographic Co., N.Y. Both editions have the Am. Photo Lithographic Co. imprint on the map however. Several copies exist unfolded (see WH's two copies) indicating that there may have been a "pile" of unfolded copies discovered recently. This copy comes from a group of three copies owned by a descendent of Froiseth, and included with our copy were several items of Froiseth memorabilia that probably have significance due to the destruction of all of Froiseth's papers soon after his death (Wheat note). Map is folded into burgundy cloth covers 13.5x8.5 with "Maps Of Utah Territory, Great Salt Lake Valley And Salt Lake City, With Portrait And Autograph Of Brigham Young. Published By Skandinavisk Post, N.Y." in gilt. Full color.
