A propos de cet article

Rare 19th century example of Johnson's famed Civil War era map of the state of Florida. One page, the hand-colored lithographic map depicts the state in full with color coding according to county in the midst of the American Civil War with references to towns, railroads, villages, depots, swamps, the territories of Native American tribes, forts and battle sites related to the Seminole Wars, Lake Okeechobee, the Everglades, Indian Hunting Grounds between Fort Poinsett and Key Biscayne Bay, Tampa Bay and the Okefenokee Swamp. Additionally notes the course of a proposed canal route leading from Tampa to the Atlantic and the Arredondo Grant to the west of St. Augustine. An inset map in the lower left hand quadrant details the Florida Keys. Featuring the strapwork style border common to Johnsonâs atlas work from 1860 to 1863. In near fine condition. Matted and framed. The entire piece measures 24 inches by 21.5 inches.

The earliest known European explorers came with the Spanish conquistador Juan Ponce de Leà n who spotted and landed on the peninsula on April 2, 1513 and named it La Florida in recognition of the verdant landscape and because it was the Easter season, which the Spaniards called Pascua Florida. At various points in its colonial history, Florida was administered by Spain and Great Britain and on March 3, 1845, Florida was admitted as the 27th state of the Union. The principal location of the Seminole Wars (the longest and most extensive of Indian Wars in United States history fought between 1816 and 1858), Florida declared its secession from the Union on January 10, 1861, and was one of the seven original Confederate States. After the Civil War, Florida was restored to the Union on June 25, 1868.…
