Official Military Atlas of the Civil War by George B. Davis
Gramercy, 1983. Hardcover. New. The Official Military Atlas of the Civil War had been drawn up during the Civil War by engineers, draftsmen, and sometimes even generals themselves for actual military use. Only a few maps, drawn later by cartographers, were added for historical purposes. Tactical and strategic maps indicate troop dispositions, defense lines, redoubts, and fortifications of key sites are clearly shown. Terrain maps often contain picket positions, signal stations, and lines of march. Some are rough sketches, some cartographic masterpieces. All are informative and reveal the knowledge--or lack of knowledge--that both sides possessed about the terrain and the strength and the position of opposing troops. 821 maps, 106 engravings, and 209 drawings. Elephant folio.
