I would have to cache a bunch of that stuff.
After that... I don't know. Barter for a ship capable of taking me to New Zealand where I would establish my own kingdom there? |

Establish a large farm along the Missouri.
Daniel Boone & his family would have settled in the region the year before so it’s not like its virgin wilderness. ETA - at some point I’d travel down river to fort DesChartres. It would be a ruin at that point, but I’d personally still like to see some of the original structure. |

Move up to the point where the Mississippi welcomes the Missouri, and open the greatest, most powerful trading post in North America.

You go to Washington with your weapons and ensure the British are decisively defeated in the war of 1812. Quebec becomes a US protectorate and French language, culture, and customs are stamped out leaving the future Canada stronger, if geographically stunted.

Go west, convince Native Americans I am God, take our army to conquer Canada and then gift the entire land mass to America. While still maintaining my status as Warden of the North.

I'd go to Europe and prepare to kill Marx and Engels in their cribs.
Get bored after a few years, kill their parents instead, and chill on my small island nation Napoleon gave me for the military hardware |

Head down to the Salem area and crack the lead deposit first.
Become the leading arms supplier of the world. Build my own personal army with my vast fortune. Personally finance the War of 1812. Call in unpayable debt. Foreclose on the US and rename it MacLand. |

Heading west to the Wyoming territory and maybe venture into the Yellowstone country.
Probably settle near Jackson Hole and trap beaver. Try to stay away from the Blackfoot tribe to the north but wouldn’t worry too much. |

Seeing as the revolutionary war was over, don't think I'd participate in that. I'd tag along with Lewis & Clark. Perhaps the expedition would be renamed to "Lewis and Wookie1562." Travel and stay West to build an American empire working with the Indians enjoying the temperate weather and abundance of wildlife and resources.

I voted something else.
Oh sure, I could be lord of the plains and control vast swaths of the West and Rockies but I say go back East, get a large warship, paint it a bright color that makes it stand out and go pillage the high seas and some places in Europe. With that hardware you could capture vessels and assemble a vast armada and rule the seas. Make your base any place you wanted to, a Scottish castle maybe. Word would spread about your brightly colored war ship and armada and ships would flee from you without having to fire a shot. I would fill my castle with wenches and wealth from all over Europe

Road Atlas is worthless. I stay right there and cry about not having packed USGS topo maps.
Maybe I find an evil mastermind and sell my stuff to him and become a blacksmith that only gets pissed off if somebody burns my barn down. |
