Interesting map of Yorktown created on the 100th anniversary of Washington's victory in that battle. The map is filled with fascinating notations about the battle, including the camps of General Washington, Rochambeau, Lincoln, Pickering, Baron Viomenil, Marquis St. Simon, Baron Steuben, Clinton and the militias. The field where the British laid down their arms is noted, as well as the Temple farm, where the 1881 celebration encampment was located.
