Description
1 atlas (xix, 326 pages) : color maps; 27 cm.
Summary
"[This book] breaks down the entire campaign (and all related operational maneuvers) into 21 map sets or 'action-sections' enriched with 124 original full-page color maps. These ... cartographic originals bore down to the regimental and battery level ... Opposite each map is a full facing page of detailed footnoted text describing the units, personalities, movements, and combat (including quotes from eyewitnesses) depicted on the accompanying map, all of which make the story of General Lee's invasion into Maryland come alive ... This detailed coverage is further augmented in explanatory notes [and] detailed orders of battle"--Jacket.
