After multiple editions and printings in just two years, the
bestselling 'The Maps of Gettysburg' is available for the first
time in a full-color, hardcover edition
Thousands of books and articles have been written about
Gettysburg, but the operation remains one of the most complex and
difficult to understand. Bradley Gottfried's groundbreaking 'The
Maps of Gettysburg: An Atlas of the Gettysburg Campaign, June 3 -
July 13, 1863' is a unique and thorough study of this multifaceted
campaign.
The 'Maps of Gettysburg' breaks down the entire operation into
thirty map sets or "action-sections" enriched with 144 detailed,
full-page color maps comprising the entire campaign. These
cartographic originals bore down to the regimental and battery
level and include the march to and from the battlefield and
virtually every significant event in between. At least two-and as
many as twenty-maps accompany each map set. Keyed to each piece of
cartography is a full facing page of detailed text describing the
units, personalities, movements, and combat (including quotes from
eyewitnesses) depicted on the accompanying map, all of which makes
the Gettysburg story come alive.
This presentation makes it easy for readers to quickly locate a
map and text on virtually any portion of the campaign, from the
march into Pennsylvania during June to the last Confederate
withdrawal of troops across the Potomac River on July 13, 1863.
Serious students of the battle will appreciate the extensive and
authoritative endnotes and complete order of battle. They will also
want to bring the book along on their trips to the battlefield.
Perfect for the easy chair or for stomping the hallowed ground
of Gettysburg, 'The Maps of Gettysburg' is a seminal work that
belongs on the bookshelf of every serious and casual student of the
battle.
