Remember the Robert Mills Atlas?
He's that guy, who drew those maps...yeah. Well, here's his petition to the Senate of South Carolina regarding the pricing of his forthcoming atlas of the state, circa 1825.

ReplyDeleteRobert Mills, who was born in Charleston in 1781, published the first official atlas of the state of South Carolina. Mills served as state architect for South Carolina, designing the Lunatic Asylum and many local courthouses, and later won the contest to design the Washington Monument in Washington, DC. The atlas, made for the South Carolina State Legislature, contains 28 district maps and a state map, made from a state sponsored survey of all the districts.
