Fascinating Revolutionary War battle plan that shows the British attack on Charleston that occurred June 28, 1776. The British fleet under Admiral Peter Parker bombarded Fort Sullivan, but was unable to destroy it and in fact were forced to retreat and withdraw to New York under heavy fire. The map locates the British 1^st and 2^nd brigades on Long Island, and shows the British fleet firing on Camp Sullivan while the "Rebel Ships" are located off of Charlestown Neck. The "Rebel Camp and Entrenchments" are located as well.

A few very light and small spots along top margin, still very good. A little weakness in right margin, well away from map image. Good impression on fine hand laid paper with circular watermark.
