Abstract

The article in American Heritage discusses the discovery of a previously unknown map drawn by Lord Percy, the British commander at Lexington, shedding new light on the retreat to Boston during the American Revolution. The map, sketched within hours of the first battle of the Revolution, provides details of the British troops' retreat from Lexington. The article also delves into Lord Percy's role in the conflict, his sympathies for the colonists, and his subsequent military career. The maps, stored for over two centuries in Alnwick Castle, offer valuable insights into the early days of the Revolution. [Extracted from the article]
