No. 60, Plan des ouvrages faits à Yorktown en Virginie, a tracing, 24 x 20 inches.

No. 61, a sketch in ink and water-colors, with an elaborate key, Notes sur les environs de York, 24 x 12 inches.

Balch refers to a MS. map by Soulés, preserved in the Archives de la Guerre at Paris, and another attached to the MS. Journal de mon séjour en Amérique, which he attributes to Cromot-Dubourg. Soulés' map, Plan d'York en Virginie avec les attaques et les campemens de l'Armée combiné de France et d'Amérique, is given in his Troubles, etc., vol. iv., reduced in Mag. of Amer. Hist. (June, 1880).

Another published French map is a Plan de l'armée de Cornwallis, attaquée et faitte prisoniere dans Yorktown, le 19 8bre par l'armée combinée Française et Américaine. Dessiné sur les lieux par les Ingenieurs de l'armée à Paris. Chez Le Rouge, Xbre, 1781. Another good French map has no clew to its authorship except the words "M. fecit." It is entitled Plan de l'Attaque des villes de Yorck et Gloucester dans lesquelles etoit fortifié le Général Cornwallis fait prisonnier le 19 Octobre, 1781 (a copy in Harvard College library). Two anonymous French maps are: Plan d'York en Virginia avec les attaques et les Campemens de l'armée de France et de l'Amérique (fac-simile in Mag. of Amer. Hist., 1880, p. 440), and Carte de la partie de la Virginie ... avec le plan de l'Attaque d'Yorktown et de Gloucester. There is also a Paris map of Virginia, published by Esnauts and Rapilly, giving the Baie de Chesapeake avec plan de l'attaque.

There is a German map by Sotzman.

All these maps were based on more or less imperfect surveys. A map giving correct topography, Yorktown, Virginia, and the Ground Occupied in the Siege of 1781; a topographical survey by direction of Brev.-Maj.-Gen. G. W. Getty, U. S. A., commanding Artillery School, Fort Monroe, 1880, was drawn by Lieut. Caziare. A reduced fac-simile is given in Mag. of Amer. Hist. (vii. 408,—described, p. 339). Caziare also drew the plan, embodying the lines of Faden and Renault, which is given in Patton's Yorktown, p. 34, and Mag. of Amer. Hist., vii. 288. A section of another and earlier government survey, by Major Kearney, showing the roads as they were in 1818, is in Johnston's Yorktown, p. 103. Cf. his list of maps in Ibid., p. 198.—Ed.
