Locates the camps of important military commanders including Generals Washington, Knox, and Clinton, Rochambeau, Steuben, Gov. Nelson, La Fayette, and many more.

B. Theatre des Operations de l’Armee du Nord, et Desert que le General Arnold Traversa en Marchant Contre Quebec (8.4 x 10.0"). This map depicts the region along the Hudson River and Lake Champlain and the area east of it where General Arnold crossed on his march to attack Quebec in the American Revolution.
