Description
Scarce pair of battle plans from Dr. Gordon's History of the American War. The map is based upon a larger map by Henry Clinton of the same title, issued in 1780. The Charlestown plan shows the confluence of the Cooper and Ashley Rivers, with approximately 20 ships in the Harbor, 6 of which are named and note the number of guns. A key names approximately 20 sets of fortifications and other battle notes of interest. The plan of Sullivan's Island and Fort Moultrie shows 9 ships attacking the fort, with names and other battle details. The map is quite rare on the market. Very wide margin example in fresh clean condition. Revolutionary war battle plans are increasingly difficult to find.
