A New and Accurate Map of North Carolina, and Part of South Carolina, with the Field of Battle between Earl Cornwallis and General Gates.

The American forces would, of course, rally and bring down Cornwallis the following year at Yorktown. Presented in a carved and gilt frame.
Frame 18-3/4 x 22-3/4 in.
Overall toning; some offset from another sheet; fold creases; not examined out of the frame.
