Description
Paul Revere’s name dominates the historical record of the famous ride to warn American troops of an impending British attack, but his colleagues William Dawes and Dr. Samuel Prescott get their dues on this pictorial map. Drawn by Ivan Chisholm and published by Robert Winn in Boston, the map details the events of that fateful April night using an appealing variety of vignettes, small figures of the riders, and interesting annotations.
Revolutionary-era quotes, profiles of the riders, and building views at the bottom of the sheet enhance the visual appeal of the map and provide additional historical context. A further narrative is presented in the lower left and in the accompanying pamphlet, which advertises other maps by the same publisher.
