Los 214 | A Plan of the Battle of Bunker Hill
SAYER, Robert (1725-1794), and BENNETT, John (fl. 1770s), publishers. A Plan of the Battle of Bunker Hill. Fought on the 17th of June 1775. By an Officer on the Spot. London: R. Sayer & J. Bennett, 27 November 1775.

A large broadside map showing the plan for the first major battle of the American Revolution, in Boston’s Bunker Hill. Among its key features are the British landing places at the east end of Charlestown, the Cobbs Hill battery at the north end of Boston, and the position of the British warships. The below is General Burgoyne’s description of the action, excerpted from a letter written to his nephew Lord Stanley—he explains the original British plan to take Dorchester Heights in South Boston, which was thwarted by the American fortification of Bunker Hill. Nebenzahl and Higgenbotham, Atlas 3; Nebenzahl 28.

Engraved map, troops colored in yellow (Americans) and red (British), 596 x 480mm sheet size (edge tears, some soiling and staining, several red smudges, some of the edge tears repaired on verso).
