Original Civil War Military Atlas
<B><I>Atlas To Accompany The Official Records Of The Union And Confederate Armies</B></I></B></I> (Washington: Government Printing Office, 1891-1895), large folio (15.5" x 19"), Parts I - XXXV with Part XXIX included with Part XXVIII. This magnificent collection of maps is testimony to the superb efforts of military cartographers, North and South, laboring under extremely adverse conditions during the Civil War. General maps showing infrastructure and topography are augmented by battle maps complete with troop placement, movements and dates. Included, too, are general supplements showing the regulation uniforms of both sides and schematic drawings of ordnance and equipment. Accompanying the atlas is a series of 1902 octavo imprints providing "Additions and Corrections" to the main work. Each part of the atlas retains its original paper wrap with the contents listed on the front cover. Internally fine with the cover wraps in various states of preservation. Several of the covers have splits and paper loss given the generally brittle quality of the paper.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Small Collectibles (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
