1765WRCAM46139New England 1765. Pen-and-ink on laid paper with the road colored in sepia and with water elements in green with a yellow wash border within the gradients on seventeen of eighteen sheets. Sheet size: 27 1/2 x 214 inches overall if joined. Minor repairs one small blank section in the upper border lacking. Very good. Provenance: Sir Francis Bernard Colonial Governor of Massachusetts 1712-79; by descent to Robert Spencer Bernard Nether Winchendon House Buckinghamshire England. A truly massive road map measuring over seventeen feet from east to west showing the roads across the colony of Massachusetts in great detail. It is one of only a handful of road maps to survive from the colonial era. It was created for Sir Francis Bernard then colonial governor of Massachusetts. <br> <br> In November 1969 noted historian of cartography William P. Cumming discovered in the family home of Sir Francis Bernard "a collection of maps that in purpose and type differed so markedly from the more usual military coastal and general colonial maps of the time that it stands out in both interest and importance. These were domestic maps of a gentleman's estates and the roads to them.Probably Sir Francis's most important contribution to cartography was to have careful surveys made of the roads from Boston.westward to Albany New York on a one-inch to two-thirds-mile scale. It was along part of this Albany to Boston road that the American rebels dragged the heavy cannon captured at Fort Ticonderoga that set up on Dorchester Heights forced General Howe's evacuation of Boston in 1776.No route maps as detailed as these except for two short New Jersey road maps are known for any other section of the eastern seaboard until those of Christopher Colles in 1789" Cumming pp.29-30. <br> <br> The present manuscript map depicts the road across Massachusetts but does not extend as far as Albany. The road divided into miles throughout extends from Boston to Springfield where it splits into two westward routes to Albany: the first a more southerly route via Great Barrington Massachusetts which ends on the present map at a point approximately thirty-three miles from Albany; and the more northerly route which is shown on the map as far as Northampton just past the Connecticut River. The map is done on a very large scale of approximately two-thirds of a mile to the inch with towns rivers mountains residences meetinghouses and numerous taverns identified along the way. Cumming records this map as four separate entries i.e. MP21-24 although with an incorrect sheet count. <br> <br> Comprised of eighteen sheets one narrow blank sheet is missing the top half of the map is comprised of ten narrow sheets varyingly long and short while the bottom half is comprised of eight uniform sheets each measuring 18 1/2 x 26 1/2 inches. The sheets are as follows: <br> <br> 1 Southeast corner of the map blank except wash border. <br> <br> 2 Blank except for wash border with a segment of rhumb line. <br> <br> 3 missing but would clearly be blank except for wash border with section of rhumb line <br> <br> 4 Text reading "Boston to Albany." <br> <br> 5 Text reading "Way to Spr-" with part of the southern road. <br> <br> 6 Text reading "-ingfield" with part of the southern road including Springfield and the Connecticut River. <br> <br> 7 A small sheet containing text reading "and" and part of the southern route. <br> <br> 8 blank except for wash border <br> <br> 9 blank except for wash border <br> <br> 10 Southwest corner of the map blank except for wash border. <br> <br> 11 Northeast corner of the map containing Medford Boston and the route as far as Framingham. <br> <br> 12 Text reading "the road" with the northern route from Sudbury to Westborough. <br> <br> 13 Text reading "from" with the route from Shrewsbury to Leicester. <br> <br> 14 Text reading "by" and "road b-" with the route from Brookfield west to Coy's Hill and the Porpoodock Mountains. <br> <br> 15 Text reading "-y way of Northampton to Albany" showing the route from Belchertown to Northampton including part of the Connecticut River and the Hadley Mountains. <br> <br> 16 Text reading "Gr-" with part of the route showing Blandford. <br> <br> 17 Text reading "-eat Barrington" showing the route from the Farmington River to Tyringham. <br> <br> 18 Northwest corner of the map showing Great Barrington and a bit beyond to the Massachusetts-New York border. <br> <br> Sir Francis Bernard became the colonial governor of Massachusetts in late 1759 shortly after British troops were victorious in the Battle of Quebec. That decisive French and Indian War victory opened a vast region for renewed English settlement and trade thus necessitating the need for more accurate surveys of the roads. The present manuscript map was surveyed and drawn by talented military mapmaker Francis Miller in 1765 for Bernard the details of which are recounted by Bernard in a 1766 letter to Lord Barrington: <br> <br> "I am desired to certify to your Lordship that at the beginning of the Year 1764 Genl Gage at my Request gave Leave to Ensign Francis Miller of the 45th regiment then stationed in Newfoundland to come to Boston to assist me in some Works of Public Surveying which I had undertaken in pursuance of resolutions of the general Assembly & partly by Orders from England. Mr Miller being then at an outpost & not easily relieved did not arrive at Boston till Nov in that Year when the Season for actual Surveying was over. He was employed that Winter & Spring following in protracting the Surveys made that Summer among which was a compleat Route from Fort Pownal on the River Penobscot to Quebec & some other curious explorations of the Eastern parts of New England hitherto unknown to Englishmen: of which elegant Maps drawn by Mr Miller have been transmitted to the Board of Trade. Early in the Last Summer I employed M' Miller having previously informed Genl Gage of the Intention to make an actual Survey from Boston to Albany & back again by another Way being near 200 Miles; & afterwards from Boston to Penobscot being above 200 Miles; by which Means a true Geometrical Line of 400 Miles in length through part of New York & all the habitable part of New-England has been obtained which will afford great Assistance to the Ascertaining the Geography of this Country & its Sea Coast. After this Survey was finished he was employed in protracting the Same & making Drawings thereof which he has done with great Accuracy & Elegance" Bernard to Barrington Jan. 1 1766 quoted in THE BARRINGTON-BERNARD CORRESPONDENCE p.103. <br> <br> This important manuscript map detailing the route from Boston westward towards Albany constitutes among the earliest of American road maps.

"Built in 1734 the Ashley House served as the home of Deerfield's 18th-century minister with furnishings of the Connecticut River elite and English ceramics. It is an example of Deerfield's first 18th-century building boom. In the 1730s successful Deerfield farmers enlarged old dwellings and built new ones often with stylish doorways in a distinctive Connecticut Valley style. In the 1750s the Reverend Jonathan Ashley made substantial alterations to his house such as a grand doorway a central hallway staircase and fine paneling. Inside the house visitors see furnishings owned by the Connecticut Valley's 'River Gods' the political-military-mercantile-ministerial elite that governed the towns of western Massachusetts until the American Revolution. Ashley bought cherry and mahogany furniture for his parlors and chambers imported English and Chinese ceramics for tea and punch prints that demonstrated his English allegiance and textiles that gave comfort and color to domestic life. The Ashley House was the first restoration opened to the public by the founders of Historic Deerfield Henry and Helen Geier Flynt in 1948." - Historic Deerfield Heritage Foundation, Deerfield / Connecticut Printers, Incorporated hardcover books
