This lavishly illustrated pictorial map by Wilfred Stedman provides an illustrative history of war within New Mexico. The map is a panoply of vignettes that tell the many stories of centuries of battles from the conquistadores to the Mexican and United States military.  

The vignettes form a tapestry which chronicles the history of the state from its early indigenous inhabitants to Spanish conquistadores and priests, to hunters and trappers, explorers, bandits, and settlers in wagon trains. Historic trails are depicted in great detail including early Indian trails, the various routes of Coronado and other explorers in the 16th century, a variety of military trails, and routes used by early colonists. Events such as Geronimo’s Raid, the Battle of Dog Canyon, the Lincoln County War and Pancho Villa’s famous raid of 1916 are all depicted.

The verso contains images, vignettes and a summary of the history of the state starting with Coronado’s arrival in 1536 and ending with the Pancho Villa incident in 1916. As stated in the greeting on the verso from then Governor of the state, John Miles, the state is one which shared in the earliest history of the US, and the influence of the wide variety of cultures in the state wrote ‘chapter upon chapter of Americana’.

Condition: This folding map is in A condition with miniscule holes at some junctures of folding.
