This elevation drawing shows the north face of the Dorchester Heights Monument, the granite column that stands on the hill in South Boston where Continental forces set up their batteries in March 1776. Henry Knox's cannon, hauled from Fort Ticonderoga, were positioned on these heights, and the threat they posed led the British to evacuate Boston on March 17, 1776. The monument was built to mark that turning point, and the drawing records its design as the structure was planned, so it is useful for anyone studying how the memorial was conceived.
