Taking Measure of America - How French Cartographers Shaped “The New World” with Roger Mummert
A presentation by Roger Mummert of www.theparisproject.net in association with the
Federation of Alliances Françaises USA

fundamentally impacted how colonizers would lay claim to enormous portions of North America - and how emerging nations would later redefine
those claims.
