[1148] Carrington was less known, but Hartley in his Heroes, p. 318, has devoted a short space to him.
[1149] Cf. Memoirs of Generals ... who were presented with medals by Congress, by Thomas Wyatt (Phila., 1848), pp. 70-78; Mag. of Am. Hist., vii. 276-282,—with portrait; Hartley, Heroes, 317; Rogers, Biog. Dict., 228, etc.
[1150] Davie, however, rose into prominence. Cf. Frances M. Hubbard, Life of William Richardson Davie, in Sparks, Am. Biog., xxv. pp. 1-135. Pages 13-177 relate to his military career. Cf. also Lee, Memoirs, i. 381; Lives of the Heroes, 134; and Rogers, Biog. Dict., 114.
[1151] Cf. Greene's Greene, iii. ch. 1. The earliest general map of the Southern campaigns from American sources appeared in David Ramsay's Hist. of the Rev. in So. Carolina (vol. i., Trenton, 1785). Gordon, in 1785, sent this Ramsay map to Greene, asking him to correct it, and lest it should not answer he sent other maps of the Southern States for Greene to amend (Hist. Mag., xiii. 24, 25). Gordon's own map is in his third volume, and is reduced in Greene's Greene. Other early American maps are those in Marshall's Atlas to his Washington, and in Johnson's Greene, vol. ii.
The English maps are A new and accurate map of North Carolina and part of South Carolina, with the field of battle between Earl Cornwallis and General Gates (London, 1780), and Faden's map of Feb. 3, 1787, showing the Marches of Lord Cornwallis in the Southern provinces, comprehending the two Carolinas, with Virginia and Maryland and the Delaware Counties (20 × 26 inches), which is the one also used in Tarleton's Campaigns. Cf. those in the Political Mag., Nov., 1780, and Kitchen's Map of the Seat of War, in London Mag., 1781, p. 291. There are later eclectic maps in Carrington, 556; Harper's Mag., lxiii. 324; and in such lesser works as Ridpath's United States, 342, and Lowell's Hessians, 265. There are French maps in Hilliard d'Auberteuil's Essais, ii.; Balch's Les Français en Amérique, etc.
There was a map of South Carolina published in nine sheets (London, 1771,—King's maps, Brit. Mus., i. 209). That by James Cook was engraved by Bowen in 1773 (Brit. Mus. Catal. Maps, 1885, col. 699). Other maps antedating the active hostilities in the South were those in the Amer. Military Pocket Atlas (1776); the large sheet (56 × 40 inches), with considerable detail, called Map of North and South Carolina, the work of H. Mouzon and others (London, Sayer & Bennett, 1775); and upon this and Cook's the map in B. R. Carroll's Hist. Coll. of So. Carolina is based. Sayer & Bennett (London, 1776) published a smaller map, 19 × 25 inches, called A general map of the southern British colonies in America, comprehending North and South Carolina [etc.] with the Indian countries. From the modern surveys of de Brahm & others & from hydrographic survey, by B. Romans, 1776. It has marginal plans of Charleston and St. Augustine.
In 1777 there was published both in London and Paris a large map of South Carolina and Georgia, after surveys by Bull, Gascoigne, Bryan, and De Brahm. The Paris publisher was Le Rouge, and it was included in the Atlas Amériquain, which also reproduces the Mouzon map and the English map of the Carolina coasts, by N. Pocock (1770).
The Bull, etc., map of 1777 was reissued by Faden in 1780 as a Map of South Carolina and a part of Georgia. Cf. the map of Parts of South Carolina and Georgia in the Political Mag., i. 454. The Brit. Mus. Catal. Additional MSS., no. 31,537, shows four plans, giving positions of the British in South Carolina from May to September, 1779.
North Carolina alone was not so well mapped as South Carolina at the outbreak of the war. There was a map published in London in 1770, after surveys by Collet, governor of Fort Johnson (King's maps, Brit. Mus., i. 208), and in the same library is a drawn map, also by Collet, of the back country, made in 1768, in twelve sheets. E. W. Caruthers' Interesting Revolutionary incidents chiefly in the old North State, second series (Philadelphia, 1856), has a folding map, with the marches of Greene and Cornwallis, from the Cowpens till the separation at Ramsey's Mill.
The standard map of Virginia at the outbreak of the war was that by Fry and Jefferson (see Vol. V. p. 273), originally issued in 1751, but reproduced by Jefferys in 1775, and included in his American Atlas (1775, no. 31). In 1777 Le Rouge reproduced it in Paris, and included it in the Atlas Amériquain. Cf. the map of Virginia and Maryland in Hilliard d'Auberteuil's Essais; and the maps in Political Mag., i. 787, and Mag. of Amer. Hist., vi. 25; and for details those in Simcoe's Journal (giving various skirmishes, etc.), Sparks's Washington, viii. 158; and Carrington's Battles, p. 616. There is among the Rochambeau maps (no. 51) a Plan du terrain à la rive gauche de la rivière de James, vis-à-vis Jamestown, en Virginie, où etait le Combat du 6 Juillet, 1781, giving the first and second positions of the troops in the engagement between Lafayette and Cornwallis. It is a colored map, 18 × 18 inches, with a good key. Cf. map on the operations in Virginia in Mémoires of Lafayette (Paris, 1837), vol. i.—Ed.
