This collection contains approximately 300 rare printed maps, unique manuscript maps, and published texts collected by Richard
H. Brown, which pertain to the American Revolutionary War era.
This map and battle plan immortalized what came to be known as the Battle of Bunker Hill. The alphabetic key identifies British
regiments and ships and narrates their actions. The plan also shows earthworks held by the Colonial troops. This detailed
plan was published in London only five days after news of the battle itself reached England. Given the haste with which it
was prepared, its geographic vagueness in the rendering of Charlestown is less surprising than its overall accuracy and detail.
Relief shown by hachures. Indexed for points of military interest.

A map of the most inhabited part of New England : containing the provinces of Massachusets Bay and New Hampshire, with the
colonies of Connecticut and Rhode Island, divided into counties and townships : the whole composed from actual surveys and
its situation adjusted by astronomical observations
This large, detailed map of New England was compiled by Braddock Mead (alias John Green), and first published by Thomas Jefferys
in 1755. Green was an Irish translator, geographer, and editor, as well as one of the most talented British map-makers at
mid-century. The map was re-published at the outset of the American Revolution, as it remained the most accurate and detailed
survey of New England. Of interest are engraved double lines found beneath certain place-names, including Boston. These lines
indicate cities whose longitude had been calculated with the aid of the newly invented marine chronometer.

the French naval campaign in America by Ozanne who witnessed the action at the entrance of the Delaware River on July 8, 1778.

Displayed here is the third state of the "Carte des Pays...de Canada," published by Jean Baptiste Fortin who had acquired
the stock of the Vaugondy firm. This map is one of the first to recognize the name of the newly formed United States, "Etats
Unis," as seen by the inclusion of the phrase in the title cartouche. The map is closely related to J.B. Eliot's "Carte du
Theatre de la Guerre Actuel Entre les Anglais et les Treize Colonies Unies de l'Amerique Septentrionale ..." Eliot also uses
the phrase "Etats Unis" in his map, referring to his title of U.S. Engineer under his name. Both Fortin and Eliot published
their maps in 1778.
Covers Canada east of Lake Superior and south of James Bay; covers U.S. north of Albemarle Bay (N.C.). Relief shown pictorially.

Description
Highlighted on this fine topographic map of Boston and vicinity are the British and American troops. The American troops are
colored red -- the first corps in Cambridge, the second corps opposite Charlestown neck, and the third corps near Roxbury.
Among the many strategic topographic features so excellently rendered on this map is Dorchester Heights, which appears devoid
of British defensive forces. This serious tactical error was ultimately recognized by General Washington, who occupied the
Heights and forced the British to withdraw from the city on March 17, 1776. A note on the map reveals that it is based on
an original plan of the siege drawn by order of the British government. Interestingly, the British fortifications on Boston
Neck and Castle William Island are greatly exaggerated.

Description
Michel Capitaine du Chesnoy, the Marquis de Lafayette's map maker, drew this map following the Battle of Monmouth Court House
in northeastern New Jersey. After confusion surrounding the Continental Army's orders, the soldiers prevented the British
troops from advancing. The battle occurred on a hot June day and hundreds of soldiers died of heatstroke. Women, who came
to be referred to collectively as "Molly Pitcher," supported the American troops by bringing water to cool the men and their
guns. Although the battle ended inconclusively, it was a turning point for the professionalization of the American army as
volunteer French and German military officers provided training.

Description
One of the preferred routes that captains and navigators sailing from America to England learned to use was the Gulf Stream,
a strong, warm current that flows north along the Atlantic coast and then east toward Europe. Initially charted by Benjamin
Franklin in 1768, this discovery helped ships minimize travel time across the ocean, speeding up the transatlantic voyage
for travelers, merchants, and goods. Franklin purchased this 1785 chart, a French adaptation of his original findings, when
he served in Paris as a diplomat for the United States during the early years of the republic

A plan of the city of Philadelphia, the capital of Pennsylvania, from an actual survey
Displayed here is the second state of J.B. Eliot's map of the newly formed republic, produced in 1778. This map closely resembles
Louis Brion de la Tour's "Carte du théatre de la guerre entre les Anglais et les Américans" in appearance. Eliot's map is
one of the first to recognize the name of the newly formed United States, "Etats Unis," as seen by the inclusion of the phrase
in the title cartouche, referring to Eliot's title of U.S. Engineer under his name. In this regard, Eliot's map is related
to another map recognizing the newly named United States, namely Vaugondy's "Carte du Canada et des Etats-Unis de l'Amérique
Septentrionale." Both maps were published in 1778, and both incorporate the phrase "Etats Unis" in their title cartouches,
however, it is unclear which map was actually produced first.

Bernard Ratzer, a Lieutenant in the Royal Artillery, prepared a survey of New Jersey in 1769 to assist the Boundary Commission
in settling a long standing boundary dispute between the states of New York and New Jersey. London mapmaker William Faden
published Ratzer's survey as a finished map in 1777 in his North American Atlas. Published during the American Revolution,
the map depicts the area known to George Washington before the Battle of Monmouth, and shows the fortification at Valley Forge.
Despite having several errors of location, the map is finely executed, and contains an elaborate cartouche of a farmhouse
with landscape in the upper left corner. Displayed here is the first English edition of the map. A French derivative of this

Description
This rare and unique map was produced by inventor and amateur mapmaker John Fitch, in an attempt to raise funds to support
his newly invented steamboat. Fitch made and engraved the map himself, and printed it in Philadelphia on a cider press. Unfortunately
for Fitch, the map never sold well, and the geography displayed on the map was well out-of-date by the time the Old Northwest
was settled after being released from British and Native American control.

A topographical map of the Province of New Hampshire
This rare map of New Hampshire was prepared from surveys by Samuel Holland - famed engineer who entered British service during
the French and Indian War (1754-1763). The map depicts New Hampshire in great detail, illustrating rivers, streams, lakes,
elevations, township boundaries, roads, and structures. Two great arcs delineate the boundary of a parcel known as "Mason's
Curve." The parcel, owned by John Mason (1586-1635), was originally located between the Merrimack and Kennebeck Rivers, however
in 1748 was sold by one of Mason's descendants to twelve investors from Portsmouth. It is believed these investors commissioned
the surveys in 1768-69 to more accurately locate the boundary of the landholding.

Plan of the siege of Charlestown in South Carolina
The plan displayed here depicts the Siege of Charleston, S.C., conducted by the British forces in early 1780. In February
1780, British General Henry Clinton's army arrived thirty miles south of Charleston, and began their assault on the city,
which was protected by an American force commanded by Gen. Benjamin Lincoln. The British took control of the sea, and effectively
cut the American off from any support. This plan was produced for Tarleton's memoir "A History of the Campaigns of 1780 and
1781, in the Southern Provinces of North America." The plan was produced on very heavy laid paper, and does not present any
folds or pagination. This plan may be a pre-publication proof or a presentation copy.

This general map of the Americas was produced by the firm of Vaugondy. Gilles Robert de Vaugondy was the leading French globemaker
of the 18th century, and was appointed geographer to Louis XV in 1734. Like "L'Amerique divise?e en ses principaux Etats"
by Lattre and Bonne from 1788, this map shows the new boundaries of North America as a result of the Treaty of Paris in 1783.
The newly created United States, along with Spanish lands in the south are clearly delineated. This may be the fourth state
of the map, however it is not listed in Pedley's "Bel et Utile."

Theodolite's pattern, shewing the provinces in North America which were in the respective possessions of England, France &
Spain, before the war began : and pointing out those which, by the peace, France & Spain have yielded to England
Shows territorial possessions in North America after the Treaty of Paris. Includes the satirical "Theodolite's letter to the
Botcher's Club in Monmouth Street." The open letter appears to praise the treaty and the 3rd Earl of Bute, who worked on the
treaty, while actually pointing out the weaknesses of the territory gained. Theodolite, a scientific instrument used in surveying,
likely represented Bute, who collected such instruments. Botchers were menders such as tailor and cobblers, and Monmouth Street
was known for its second-hand shops. The letter was thus from Bute to those with mercantile interests or low connections as
Bute?s peers disapproved of him and the treaty. The true author of the letter was likely Sayer or a colleague with similar
political sentiments.

Scope and Contents
De Brahm concentrated his surveying efforts on the east coast of Florida, from St. Augustine south to the Keys. This chart
of the southern tip of east Florida was included in the English edition of The Atlantic Pilot, along with a chart of the Gulf
Stream and a map of the ancient Florida peninsula. De Brahm's meticulous hydrographic survey work is evident in this chart,
with its numerous soundings, outlines of shoals, and inclusion of anchoring places. These surveys were eventually used by
Des Barres, and the information was included on the charts which make up The Atlantic Neptune.
