"Theatre de la Guerre en Amerique", Le Rouge, George Louis

A fine Revolutionary War period map covering the eastern seaboard from northern Florida to the Gulf of St Laurence, and inland to Lake Michigan and James Bay. The sheet is filled with large insets of the Gulf Coast, the Mississippi River valley and a vignette of Niagara Falls. The map is filled with information on cities, towns, forts, trails, Indian villages and tribal territory, and battlegrounds (both French and Indian War and Revolutionary War). This map was originally drawn in 1755 (with a different title) to illustrate the French and British settlements on the eve of the French and Indian War. At the outbreak of the Revolution the plate was updated and re-titled.
