This map shows fine detail of what was the last major battle of the American Revolution. It depicts the positions of the forces involved, including a key to the precise positioning of British warships. Headquarters of the principals are located, including those of Washington, La Fayette, Rochambeau, and Clinton. Shown also is the Moore House ("Maison de Moore") where the opposing sides met to draft the Articles of Capitulation surrendering York and Gloucester to the victorious Continental Army.

David Ramsay was one of the first major historians of the American Revolution. This map, engraved by French royal geographer Charles Picquet, is from the first French edition of Ramsay's account of the war where he participated as a field commander and surgeon. He was twice elected to the Continental Congress from South Carolina.
