View of Roxbury from the advanced guard house at the lines

Drawing shows Roxbury, Massachusetts during the American Revolution, perhaps by a British officer or someone sympathetic to the British showing the positions of American forces. Two points in the map are identified by letters: a - "Rebbels Centinels" [e.g. rebel's sentinels] and b - "Our advanced guard." In addition, the town of Roxbury is identified as well as the location of the "Rebbels encampmt." and "here the Rebbels have 4 field pieces."Transfer; Map Division.Published in: The American Revolution in drawings and prints : a checklist of 1765-1790 graphics in the Library of Congress / compiled by Donald H.
