Summary: Apparently designed to accompany classroom lectures.
Review: Many pages use the same map with differing troop positions. Repeated maps use same title block boiler plate with misleading dates. Text blocks that descibe troop movements blot out many place names. Text blocks have small print and are difficult to read. Some key court houses, farms, towns, fords, bridges are omitted when the was sufficient white space to include them.

Summary: 19th Century Chess
Review: This book provides a good geographical context for any of the good historical accounts of the Civil War. We know enough about this national tragedy for the sake of good conversation.An atlas represents the chessboard. The soldiers are the pieces. There is much to be understood from the science of war . . . such as the importance of avoiding it when possible.
