Battle Plan of Yorktown, From a Contemporary French Account of the American Revolution Edited By Thomas Jefferson .
Detailed battle plan of the Battle of Yorktown, the final battle of the American Revolution.
The map provides a detailed look at the battle of Yorktown, based upon French sources. The positions of the American, French and English forces and artillery are shown, along with an explanatory note. The locations of commanding officers are also noted.
The map appeared in Francois Soules' Histoire des troubles de l'Amerique Anglais, first published in Paris in 1785. Thomas Jefferson is known to have acquired a copy of Soules' work, which he read and extensively edited and corrected, presenting his comments and proposed additions to the author in the summer of 1786, as well as information concerning Jefferson's efforts to reform the laws of Virginia during the Revolution, which Soules incorporated into the fourth volume of his 1787 edition (Cogliano, Thomas Jefferson: Reputation and Legacy, 2006, p. 45).
