In his new book, Garver analyzes and illuminates ninety historic maps, connecting them with key developments in New England history and demonstrating how a community's maps reflect its view of the world.
Surveying the Shore is a rich and compelling history of New England, from the arrival of the first white men to the early twentieth century, revealed in some of the most beautiful examples of the mapmaker's art.
Garver has culled his maps from the Harvard Map Collection, the Boston Public Library, the Boston Athenaeum, the State Archives, the Massachusetts Historical Society, the American Antiquarian Society, the Phillips Library at the Peabody Essex Museum, and Houghton Library. The result is a treasure for map lovers and history lovers alike.
