Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

From the American Battlefield Trust comes the collection of their
popular maps of the Eastern Theater of the American Civil War. "I
just love those maps that you guys send to me." It is a phrase that
the staff of the American Battlefield Trust hears on a weekly
basis. The expression refers to one of the cornerstone initiatives
of the organization-mapping the battlefields of the Revolutionary
War, War of 1812, and the American Civil War. The American
Battlefield Trust is the premier battlefield preservation
organization in the United States. Over the last thirty years, the
American Battlefield Trust and its members have preserved more than
52,000 acres of battlefield land across 143 battlefields in
twenty-four states-at sites such as Antietam, Vicksburg,
Chancellorsville, Shiloh, and Gettysburg. Outside of physically
walking across the hallowed battle grounds that the American
Battlefield Trust preserves, the best way to illustrate the
importance of the parcels of land that they preserve is through
their battle maps. Through the decades, the American Battlefield
Trust has created dozens of maps detailing the action of hundreds
of battles. Now, for the first time in book form, they have
collected the maps of some of the most iconic battles of the
Eastern Theater of the Civil War into one volume. From First Bull
Run to the Surrender at Appomattox Court House, you can follow the
major actions of the Eastern Theater from start to finish utilizing
this unparalleled collection.
