This 1775 map of New England traces the marches of colonial units converging on Boston and marks the attack on Bunker Hill, fought on June 17 of that year on the Charlestown peninsula across from the city. It was published in London by the map sellers Robert Sayer and John Bennett, whose firm produced many war maps for a British public eager for news from America. The title's claim to come from "an American volunteer" suggests the map was compiled from firsthand accounts, which made it a useful guide to the early months of the war. Its close view of Boston and its surrounding roads shows how quickly the conflict had centered on that town.
