About carto

Retired software engineer who grew up in Montana, went to Montana State College in Bozeman, and moved to California to work at Stanford Research Institute (SRI). Carto's Logbook is about photography, travel and adventure; Mt. Maurice Times is tall tales mostly biographical; Carto's Library is about books I've read and liked.

A Map of Montana

The whaling ship  Pequod on the high Seas (detail), Everett Henry, Library of Congress.

This travel blog will publish photos and impressions of Montana. The result could be a sort of travel map similar to the literary maps  published by Everett Henry in 1956. Who knows?

Everett Henry, “The Voyage of the Pequod from the Book, Moby Dick, by Herman Melville” (1956). Library of Congress.

The Voyage of the Pequod is one of a series of twelve literary maps based on British and American literary classics produced by the Harris-Seybold Company of Cleveland between 1953 and 1964. The map was part of a calendar printed to advertise the capabilities of the company’s lithographic printing equipment. Illustrator Everett Henry was a well-known New York commercial artist also noted for his mural paintings. The Library has more than 225 literary maps that record the location of places associated with authors and their literary works or serve as a guide to their imaginative worlds.
