This Revolutionary-era map is one of many colonial pieces in the collections at Harvard. Drawn in October 1775 by a British soldier while he was stationed in Boston, it shows the city almost completely surrounded by water—connected to the mainland by only a narrow strip of land—and transformed by the military occupation. #Harvard #RevolutionaryWar #AmericanRevolution #HistoryTok #America250
