Rather than a view of a single building, this item is a map, and its title names the whole theater of conflict: the seat of war in New England, with the marches traced across the countryside. It appeared as the fighting that began at Lexington and Concord in April 1775 grew into a siege of Boston, with colonial militia encircling the town and British troops holding it. Maps like this let readers follow troop movements along the roads between Boston, Concord and nearby towns, and the record credits it to an American volunteer who knew that terrain firsthand. It remains useful to anyone studying the early campaigns and how the Boston landscape shaped them.
