Scale not given. Manuscript, pen-and-ink and watercolor. Most of the plans are oriented with north to the top. This is the first in a series of plans of the camps of Comte de Rochambeau's army during the march north from Williamsburg, Va., to Boston, July-December 1782. The soldiers marched in four divisions, each a day's march apart, consequently the camps shown were occupied for four or more nights. Most of the plans are oriented with north to the top. They are bound under the title Amérique campagne 1782: plans des differents camps occupés par l'armée aux ordres de Mr. le Comte de Rochambeau. This volume once belonged to Rochambeau himself. It was purchased by the Library of Congress in 1883 and comprises part of the Rochambeau Collection. The entire set of plans is reproduced in Rice and Brown, American campaigns of Rochambeau's army (1792), v.2.
