This is a scarce American Revolutionary War map covering the region from Newfoundland to northern Florida, but only as far west as Lake Michigan. It features a large inset of part of New England, New York, eastern Pennsylvania, and New Jersey that depicts the region most affected by the Revolution in 1779 when the map was first published. This second edition also includes a small inset of Yorktown, the site of General Cornwallis' surrender in October 1781. The map is filled with topographical information, boundaries, cities, towns, forts, Indian territory and villages, battlefields, trails and roads. The large title cartouche includes a battle scene and the personification of America as an Indian queen. Separately published by Basset.
