Description: Title of the map: "ILE DE NEW-YORK, Partie de LONG-ISLAND ou de L'ILE LONGUE, et Positions des Armées Américaine et Britannique, Après le Combat livré sur les Hauteurs, le 27 Aout 1776." Antique detailed copper engraved Revolutionary war map of New York City and Long Island, by Jean-Nicolas BUACHE (also named BUACHE DE LA NEUVILLE) (1741-1825), drawn up during the War of Independence. The map is showing the details of the Battle of Long Island, also named Battle of Brooklyn, on 1776, August 27, during the campaign of New York and New Jersey. Greatly out manned, the American troops were forced to retreat to Brooklyn, thereby losing control of Long Island. In a key tactical move, General Washington succeeded in withdrawing his troops and supplies across the East River at night without detection by the British, thereby preventing a significant loss of men. This map depicts the positions and movements of the American and British troops during the battle, and extends north to Ft. Washington and Ft. Independence (with two named). Six British ships are depicted and named, and there is good detail throughout with numerous forts, roads, villages and towns located.
