Description
HUTCHINS, Thomas (1730-1789).
[Pittsburgh] Plan of the Battle near Bushy-Run, Gained by Colonel Bouquet, over the Delawares, Shawanese, Mingoes, Wyandots, Mohikons, Miamies, & Ottawas... [on sheet with] [Diagram of the march and attack.]
Engraved map.
London, c. 1768.
20 1/2" x 15 1/4" sheet.
Provenance: From the Collection of the Duke of Northumberland.
Scarce and highly important engraved map by Thomas Hutchins -- an important early mapping of Pontiac's War. This example is from Thomas Jefferys' impossibly rare atlas: General Topography of North America.
This map precedes Hutchins' famous A New Map of the Western Parts of Virginia. . . by a decade. It was published sometime between 1766 and 1768 while Hutchins was still at work in America. After completing his survey work in the midwest, Hutchins returned to England. There he was accused of being an American spy (rightly) and was subjected to a severe inquisition. Nonetheless, his great map was published in 1778, years after this much rarer progenitor.
