"Plan of the Country from Frogs Point to Cotton River Shewing the Positions of the American & British Armies from the 12th of October 1776 Until the Engagement on the White Plains. On the 28th", Phillips, Richard (Sir)

This handsome Revolutionary War plan centers roughly on White Plains and details the battles and troop positions. The American forces are shown moving northward from a point near present-day Fordham University. Many property owners, roads, ferries, and towns are named. Several notable places are located, including Fort Washington, Dobbs Ferry, Fort Lee, Fort Independence, and Tarrytown. Engraved by Samuel Neele.
