Evacuating town during the night. James keeps track of battles, prisoners and the wounded they take, also number of guns seized and the way they maneuvered their positions in the many battles and skirmishes he describes. He gives his frank opinion of his generals, as in the writing of Nov. 29, 1864, he states "I do not much like the manner in which our army is being handled by genl. Scofield Franklin. Retreated to this place during last night, Enemy advance and attack us with 2 Corps of infantry and one of cav.

London: printed for R. Sayer & J. Bennett, September 2nd, 1775. Copper-engraved map, with original colour. 20 3/4 x 23 3/4 inches. An exciting, important, and rare map, and a landmark map of the American Revolution, dramatically transmitting in visual terms the state of the action in New England a year before the Declaration of Independence, and giving dramatic visual details of the Battle of Bunker Hill. The map was published by Sayer & Bennett, then leading map publishers of England. Created shortly after word of Bunker Hill reached London, it celebrates the British victory in the battle, but gives a portent of the bad news that would eventually come, as it shows armed colonial troops marching from Rhode Island, Connecticut, and New Hampshire toward Boston. The map is actually three maps on one sheet: a large map, measuring 18 x 15½ inches, showing eastern Massachusetts, and two smaller maps showing details of Boston Harbor and the Battle of Bunker Hill. In the large map, several lines of American troops are shown marching to Boston. A rebel encampment near Worcester is depicted in addition to General Washington's troops, made up of riflemen; Virginia horsemen, and New York grenadiers. Artillery companies with horse-drawn wagons ride from Connecticut; wagons of provisions come from Rhode Island, and rangers and Portsmouth volunteers descend from New Hampshire. British troops, including those of Putnam and Ward, are shown camped outside of Boston. The map, with original color, is very detailed, showing rivers, streams, towns, and municipal boundaries. The two insets are located on the right side of the map. The lower inset map, entitled "Plan of the Town of Boston with the Attack on Bunkers-Hill in the Peninsula of Charlestown, the 17th of June 1775, " is an incredibly dramatic map. Measuring 11½ x 5¼ inches, it constructs a panopticon embracing all of Charlestown and Boston. Charlestown is shown under attack by British forces, with the town in flames (coloured...
