- Lot Description
Lieutenant John Hills (fl. 1777-1817) A Plan of YorkTown and Gloucester, In the Province of Virginia, Shewing the Works constructed for the Defence of those Posts by the British Army, under the Command of Lt. Gen'l Earl Cornwallis; together with the Attacks and Operations of the American and French Forces, Commanded by Gen'l Washington and Count Rochambeau, to whom the said Posts were Surrendered on the 17th October 1781, from an actual Survey in the Possession of Jno. Hills, late· Lieut. in the 23d Regt. & Asst. Engr., 1785, black and white engraving on laid paper, 29-3/8 x 22 in. (overall); unframed Notes: This copy of the map is published in William C. Wooldridge, Mapping Virginia, figure 157, p.175. During his career, Lieutenant John Hills (23rd Regiment of Foot) produced more than fifty maps, some of which depicted battles that he did not witness firsthand. Hills often borrowed from other reliable surveyors, citing them in his work. It is unclear whether Hills personally compiled A Plan of York Town and Gloucester or whether this was the work of another engineer. As publisher William Faden indicated in the title, the source was an actual survey in the possession of John Hills.
