FIRST EDITION
.
All of Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland and Delaware is shown, along with
small parts of neighboring states; the cartographer had the foresight to squeeze in Gettysburg
just under the cartouche. The map is illustrated with an inset view of Capitol Square in
Richmond. The original owner, David B. Langston, reached the rank of captain of the 3rd
Georgia Infantry in the Confederate army, commanding its Company K, otherwise known as
the Athens Guards. He was wounded at Chancellorsville. Parrish & Willingham 6204.
