Historical notes:
|
Bernard Romans was a British surveyor who was active surveying the New York area, as well as the Florida area. He joined the colonial forces during the American Revolution. Later he planned fortifications on the Hudson River, and made maps of the region around the Hudson Highlands.Romans' map of Connecticut was originally published in Hartford in 1777. This Dutch edition includes revisions in the depiction of Long Island, probably added from Romans' personal knowledge.
