Advice to a great man about writing a book about maps
If you personalize this selection, then YESYou have a huge, passionate following so everyone is going to want to know WHY you made the selectionThings to add
1. J H Elliott's "Empires of the Atlantic World" point is that from 1521 (Corzez) to 1821 (Independence) Spanish rule was evil, forceful, brutal, inhumanand English rule 1585 (John White in NC) to 1783 was uncaring, confiscatory at best and French was caring, enlighted (Champlain to 1763)2. George III was a curse for America from 1760 (French and Indian War) to starting the War of 1812 and then finally dying in 18203 Manifest Destiny in the Melish map showing the discoveries of a. Lewis and Clarkb. Zebulon Pikec. Stephen Longd. Thomas Nutalle. Andrew Ellicott
all brilliantly juxtaposed.
4. The effect of the opening of the Erie Canal in 1825
5. GREAT leaders make a difference
6. What was the Mexican War and the Spanish American War
Really would like to walk through Sy Schwartz's Mapping of America with you
But all of this is secondary to the fact that NO NO NO NO other nations in the rest of the world has many people with your abilities
And most importantly the USA has 100 business schools that have creating more people like you is their focus. In the rest of the world there are less than 10, maybe less than 5.
US stocks comprise 59% of the world's stock market cap and we are 3% of the population.
Our expansion told by the Melish maps and maybe 10 others is compelling and explains this fact.
