Historic Map Of Frances Slocum Trail By Otho Winger Mississinewa Miami Indian

Description

SELLING UNUSUAL AND RARE ITEMS ON EBAY FOR 23 YEARS-QUALITY, NOT QUANTITY! - Nice old map of Frances Slocum Trail area done on light card stock. Map was drawn by author, Otho Winger, and some illustrations and color by Ada Louise Duckwall. Winger wrote several books on the Miami Indians and wrote The Frances Slocum Trail book in 1943. There was a small  black and white map in the back of the book. These color maps on card stock were probably put out some time after the book and given to book dealers and others who supported the sales of his books. They are not often seen. The Frances Slocum story of a young girl abducted by Indians in 1777 and found 59 years later, had captivated the world for many years, but took up a new popularity after Winger's writings. The map is 17 1/4 in. x 11 3/4 in. and has many interesting features and points of interest, many of which have since disappeared. The Frances Slocum Trail area is near the Mississinewa River, where the Miamis and other tribes had lived for hundreds of years. It is bounded by the towns of Marion, Wabash, and Peru, Indiana. Map will be shipped flat. Obstruction in main photo is to discourage copying. Some points of interest on the map are not visible, due to this.
Selling as is. Can send more photos on request.
