Pub Note:
Many views, several of which have extensive biographical text with them. Higgins, Belden & Co. published five county atlases, all in Indiana. This is one of the most elaborate and attractive county atlases we have seen. Full color. At the end is a full printed color Rand McNally folding map of the United States which has appeared in several county atlases and other atlases and gazetteers of the period (although this may be a very early version since the atlas was published in 1874 and most of the other examples of the map are in books dated 1875). Higgins also worked with F.W. Beers, A. Warner, and D.J. Lake. Pages 55-56 missing.
