More About This Textbook
Overview
This new edition of the definitive guide to Civil War battlefields is really a completely new book. While the first edition covered 60 major battlefields, from Fort Sumter to Appomattox, the second covers all of the 384 designated as the "principal battlefields" in the Civil War Sites Advisory Commission Report. As in the first edition, the essays are authoritative and concise, written by such leading historians as James M. McPherson, Stephen W. Sears, Edwin C. Bearss, James I. Robinson, Jr., and Gary W. Gallager. The second edition also features 83 new four-color maps covering the most important battles. The Civil War Battlefield Guide is an essential reference for anyone interested in the Civil War.
Definitively depicting the 55 major battlefields of the Civil War, this complete guide describes each battle vividly in an essay by a distinguished historian. Color photographs show the battlefields as they are today, while detailed maps plot the movements of the armies as well as the topography of the land.
