Historical notes:
Collot's maps are some of the earliest of the Ohio River valley and were based on the explorations of Sir Alexander Mackenzie and George Vancouver.General Victor Collot fought under Rochambeau during the Revolution and later became governor of Guadeloupe. In 1796 he returned to North America to survey the Ohio and Mississippi rivers, probably on an espionage mission to incite settlers to join the French government. His work had been printed before his death in 1805, but was suppressed for political reasons and not sold until 1826.
