Like many of you reading this I’m still somewhat shocked at the Presidential Election result. Not at all what I epxected.

Trump becomes the first president since Grover Cleveland in 1892 to win two non-consecutive terms as president.

Leading up to the election I started publishing maps of past US Presential Election contests, all of which are now published here.

Today I will look at some of the wilder ones from the 19th century.

And speaking of Wild Maps, I should mention that Wild Maps, a book I consulted on with my publisher, is going to be rebranded as Brilliant Maps in the Wild.

Now I didn’t write this one, but I can recommend it. Makes a great companion to my original Brilliant Maps book.

But enough from me and on to the maps:
