A plan of the action at Bunkers Hill, on 17th June 1775? FADEN/STEDMAN 1794 map

Description: 'A plan of the action at Bunkers Hill, on the 17th of June 1775 between His Majesty's troops, under the command of Major General Howe, and the American forces'Antique copperplate map, 1794Caption below picture: 'A plan of the action at Bunkers Hill, on the 17th of June 1775 between His Majesty's troops, under the command of Major General Howe, and the American forces' A fine example of William Faden's important Revolutionary War battle plan of the Battle of Bunker Hill, as published by Charles Stedman. This is one of the earliest and best known of Faden's battle plans of the American Revolution. The map captures the action in and around the American fortifications at Breed's Hill and Bunker Hill, during what is the best known of the early battles of the American Revolution. The plan confuses the two hills; Breed�s Hill is incorrectly labelled as Bunker�s Hill. The plan was prepared by Thomas Hyde Page, an English military engineer who served as aide-de-camp to General Howe during the action. It is the best known plan of the battle. The plan shows redoubts, fences, and hedgerows in great detail, as well as troop positions, and the lines of attacking forces. There are detailed placements of British ships and the Copp�s Hill battery (here labeled as Corps Hill) with lines of fire. Charlestown, which was burned in the course of the battle, hugs the southern shore of the peninsula. British troops are shown with a black and white symbol, American troops with a horizontally-striped rectangle. There is a key at lower left to explain the major events of the two phases of the battle. The First Phase is shown on the leaf which overlies Warren's Redoubt and "Bunker's Hill" and which is tipped in at the right edge; when folded back it reveals the Second Phase map on the main map sheet underneath.
