The Lonesome Dove Trail/Comanche Moon Wars & Great Cattle Trails Map is an exclusive copyrighted design based on an original 1881 US map by S.A. Mitchell. In addition to the Lonesome Dove trail and place names, this map has most of the Texas locations and place names from Larry McMurtrys great "Comanche Moon" novel which follows Gus & Call during their Texas Ranger days before the Civil War and is the preface to Lonesome Dove. The Chisholm, Great Western, Goodnight-Loving, Shawnee and the other major overland cattle trails are also shown in their correct positions.
The map is printed on heavy (65lb) parchment style paper that is excellent for framing. Or for you can treat yourself or someone else to a canvas gallery wrap or framed canvas version for a more exquisite piece.
Although the text is in Latin, there is much that can be learned from this wonderful map from the early 18th century. It shows the extent of New Spain and Florida, New France, the American colonies, and the West Indies as well as rivers, towns, and trade routes. This beautiful reproduction is printed on heavy parchment style paper and is excellent for framing.
