Abstract

As Geography without History seemeth as carkasse without motion, so History without Geography wandereth as vagrant without certain habitation.

-attributed to Captain John Smith

History is geography over time. -Andrei Lvovich Botvinnik in A WALK IN THE WOODS (1988) by Lee Blessing

History ... is exceedingly difficult to follow without maps ... and, it may be whispered, geography untouched by the human element is dull to an extraordinary degree, duller even than mapless history, and that, the Dodo said, was the driest thing that it knew.

-Sir Charles Arden-Close
