A Set of Plans and
Forts in America, 1765.
Published in 1765 by Mary Ann Rocque, widow of John Rocque and Topographer
to His Royal Highness the Duke of Glouchester, this book contains 30 plans of
forts in North America. Published after the English victory over the French,
Rocque's plans were drawn from previously published maps. In many ways this
small book was intended as a paean to British victory and a celebration of the
enlarged empire.
