"Historical Maps of Civil War Battlefields does not try to retell every point in the story of this war, rather it seeks to provide a different view of the war. In over a hundred maps it looks both at the broad sweep of events—from the capture of Fort Sumter by Southern forces, through the Battle of Gettysburg, to Lee's surrender at Appomattox— and at details such as the Freedman's Village in Virginia—to provide a fascinating sample of how events during the war were mapped out. Maps and illustrations were vital to the conduct of the war; before each military event there was the planning, the reconnaissance, the conjecture as to enemy dispositions; after the event there would be debriefing, analysis of success and failure, and a redrawing of maps to show new troop positions and boundaries.
All maps illustrated in this book have been drawn from the collections of the Library of Congress and the National Archive.—from the Front Overleaf.
