United States and territories: How We Grow, Truth Co. Map, 1898, a restored reproduction. Illustration of how the United States acquired its territory. Note the reference to Cuba around the time of conflict with Spain. Map details land major land annexations up to 1898.


This restored, detailed reproduction brings out many details and landmarks, making this map a great historical reference. I have selected interesting, old graphic images for digital restoration and editing. The images were adjusted and brightened-not merely scanned-to make the images suitable for display and other purposes. Other maps and restored reproductions available.
