Description

Rare mapo of Western Pennsylvania, Maryland and Virignia, illustrating General Braddock's march to Fort Duquesne (Pittsburgh) at the beginning of the French and Indian War, which ended in the Battle of the Monongahela (or the Battle of the Wilderness, or just Braddock's Defeat). It is based on a drawing by Capt. William Orme, an aide-de-camp to General Braddock, showing the nineteen encampments along the route. It covers the region of southwestern Pennsylvania, northern Virginia and western Maryland. The map is decorated with a title cartouche and compass rose. Longitude is shown west from Philadelphia, which is unusual for a map published in England. The Grand Magazine of Magazines was a short-lived publication issued between July 1758 and December 1759. Maps from the magazine are very scarce, and this is one of the few obtainable contemporary maps to illustrate Braddock's march.
