Original printed orange paper overs boards, black cloth spine, large folding lithographed map (30 x 38 4/8 inches; 28 x 36 4/8 inches to the neat line), with original hand colour in outline, with the major battle sites indicated in red, and an inset map of southern Florida (one or two separations at folds, a bit toned).
