As a loyal British citizen\, he was chosen to immigrate to America to manage the Ringwood Iron Mines.

But he is best known as the “forgotten general” who created military maps for the Continental Army at the behest of General George Washington. These early maps indicated roads\, rivers buildings and noted landowner locations and are important tools for understanding our history and how to preserve it. This event takes place in the METC Education Annex at 23 Main Street. $15/person\, free for METC members \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n William “Billy” Neumann is a New Jersey historian and a Certified HistoricPreservationist.
