The Mapmaker's Miscalculation That Split a Continent
from The Rest of History · host Podcaster
In 1763, a British cartographer's sloppy penmanship created a border dispute that would simmer for 76 years and nearly trigger the third war between America and Britain. The story of how one man's shaky hand drawing the boundary between Maine and New Brunswick almost rewrote North American history—and why a single pine tree became worth more than gold.
