Last night I was blessed with a VERY special gift from a good friend from church named Bob, who graciously presented me with an original copy of the “Civil War Atlas to accompany Steele's American Campaigns.” This magnificent collection of 130+ wide-format military maps and annotated battle order data was prepared by the Department of Military Art & Engineering, United States Military Academy, for its course in Military History West Point, N. Y. August, 1941. Even better, this copy has the annotations and notes from the student that used it.
The campaigns covered are: First Bull Run, Henry and Donelson, Shiloh, Peninsular, Jackson’s Valley, Second Bull Run, Antietam, Fredericksburg, Stones River, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, Vicksburg, Chickamauga, Battles Around Chattanooga, Wilderness, Spotsylvania, Petersburg, Atlanta, Franklin and Nashville. I hope to share some scans of some of these in the future.
