The map is filled with details of the campaign. Various places on the map are imprinted with such captions as: "Gen. Howe Landed Aug. 22", "Provincials defeated Aug. 27", "Retreat of the Rebels", and "Provincials drowned here" (near the Red Hook area of Brooklyn). During the final days of August, General Howe inflicted a crushing defeat on Washington's army forcing the small American army to retreat from the city.
