Notes: A number of tribes are identified throughout the map.  Jean Alexandre Buchon (1791-1849) was a French scholar and historian. He compiled and published an exploration collection and several histories, particularly about medieval France. For geography, his most important contribution was publication of the French edition of Carey & Lea’s American Atlas in 1825. The French edition is generally considered in high regard as compared to other editions, as it has quality paper and superior engraving.
