This is issue "number seven," containing the final 56 pages (pp. 313-368) from the History of Charlestown by Richard Frothingham and published by Charles Little and James Brown in Boston. It includes a slightly reduced size reproduction of the famous 1775 map by Lieutenant Page with the ground plan by Montresor. The map illustrates the first major conflict of the two armies and is precisely detailed. It is faithful to the original including the pasted down overlay map (9" x 6") titled "No. 1". The main map shows the final movements and positions of the British troops, while the overlay gives the initial troop deployments. Printed paper wrappers.

The folding map has moderate offsetting and a short binding tear at right. Text is clean and bright. Wrappers are lightly soiled and the front wrapper is detached.
