Born in 1754, Doolittle largely taught himself to engrave and design, eventually becoming known for his series of engravings depicting the Battles of Lexington and Concord. The author discusses the significance of these early engravings, demonstrating Doolittle's artistic talent and commitment to historical accuracy. The book also explores Doolittle's later work, including maps of Connecticut and Vermont, bookplates, and portraits.
