Hooker, William (sold)
William Hooker (fl. c. 1811 - 1846) was an important American geographer, surveyor, and engraver active in New York during the early part of the 19th century. He is responsible for a number of important maps and geographies particularly focusing on the New York area. As a young man, Hooker may have been apprenticed to Edmund March Blunt, the well established publisher of the New England Coast Pilot. What is certain, is that in 1819, Hooker married Eliza Carleton, Blunt's daughter. He went on to publish a number of nautical charts, school geographies, guide books, and atlases in conjunction with Blunt and others, including Humphrey Phelps, Peabody & Company, and A. W. Wilgus. Hooker passed away in 1846.

A rare Edmund March Blunt 1840 nautical map of West Florida, embracing the Gulf Coast from the mouths of the Mississippi to the Saint Marks River. The survey is based upon the groundbreaking work of Scottish hydrographer George Gould following the French and Indian War (1754 - 1763). Despite being nearly seventy years old by the time this chart was published, it remained the definitive mapping of the Gulf Coast until after the American Civil War (1861 - 1865). (more details)
