Book Description
Here is the definitive reference to the battles of the Civil War, written by America's leading military historians and edited by the Pulitzer Prize-winning Civil War expert James M. McPherson. This authoritative volume includes gripping eyewitness accounts plus 200 specially commissioned, full-color maps that detail all of the major campaigns and many of the smaller skirmishes of the war between the states. Maps provide a superb visual reference to troop movement, battlefield terrain, and communication lines. Dynamic reconstructions depict battles fought on land, river, and ocean, and time-line descriptions provide play-by-play commentary of the action. With more than 200 photographs and many personal accounts that vividly recount the experiences of soldiers in the fields, this book brings to life the human drama that pitted the north against the south.

Badly done.......2007-02-06
This atlas is just awful. Previous reviews have inidacted how badly the maps are displayed and how they are frequently placed across the binding-- obscuring the center within the fold of the spine. Additionally the maps frequently drop comments in the middle of sentences and fail to display items for which labels are present. (Examples include the maps of Gettysburg. Here "Emmitsburg Road" -the label, floats south of the Peach Orchard, while the road itself apparently ends in front of the intersection of Taneytown Road. Another map of Gettysburg is captioned to read "18 7pm Hancock leaves for Taneytown to summon " (sic) To summon Meade to be sure, but his name is carelessly omitted.
Worst of all the commentary on Steele's campaign in spring of 1864 includes "Due to intense racial animosity, the Confederates killed a large number of African American soldiers as they attempted to surrender." An unknowing reader might think that this comment referenced white v black hatred, yet Foote tells us in the Civil War vol. 3 that these soldiers of 1st Kansas (Colored) Inf were murdered by a Choctaw regiment in service to the Confederates possibly in retaliation for atrocities by Kansas troops (white and black) against the Choctaw settlements in the west where this regiment was raised. Given the low quality of the work itself this is probably a careless error by editors rather than a political ploy. Scant mention is made of Native Americans' service to the Confederate states or to the Union states throughout the book.
Buyer review.......2005-08-15
Great book and a good companion to the " Battle Cry of Freedom " by James McPherson to give a better understanding of this time period and the events that took place and why.
provides good general access - maps have horrible layout.......1999-03-28
I found the layout of a lot of the maps quite annoying because they are placed across the spine of the book, making them hard, if not impossible, to read. Reconstructing the various situations and commanders' decisions described in the text is often impossible because all the information is crammed into a single map. It is a pity the maps are not as accessible as they are colorful because otherwise the combination of easy-to-read texts, tons of pictures and colorful maps make the atlas a good addition to any civil war literature.
This is a very detailed explicit atlas........1999-01-11
With this book you will be able to find information and a very colorful map of almost anyy battle in the Civil War. This is must for teenagers doing a term paper on a specific battle, since I am one myself.
it rates a 10 on appearance but a 7 for accuracy.......1998-12-06
I bought this book as a companion to reading several of Bruce Catton's histories of the war. Since Catton doesnt go through the war sequentially, and since the atlas doesnt entirely, either, it was tough initially but was helpful once i got the hang of it. But then i realized the material was not entirely accurate, more a result of poor editing than bad information. Several inset maps are shown with incorrect north arrows that lead to disorientation. At other places there are parenthetical references to an inset being "below left" when it is actually "above right." These types of errors undermine the usefulness of a reference book significantly. I considered a large number of atlases -- some specific to the war as well as others -- and this seemed to be the best. perhaps there is a potential market for a civil war era regular atlas so someone reading a history book can follow things better, without the step by step military strategy this atlas has.

Book Description
Offering the clearest and most comprehensive examination of the conflict that transformed the United States, the Atlas of the Civil War reveals the full dimensions of this historic confrontation. Surpassing the scope of any previously published single-volume work, this atlas pairs expert scholarship with bold mapping to vividly depict the ebb and flow of destruction and reconstruction. Divided chronologically into five sections, the Atlas of the Civil War illustrates every significant battle and military campaign while simultaneously considering the important social themes that shaped the country during the same time period. All theaters of war in which armies fought and maneuvered will be covered in detail and, marking a major departure from other atlases, this volume will devote substantial attention to the nonmilitary elements of the struggle between North and South. Maps of population, economic development, elections, transportation networks and patterns of enlistment illuminate the intersections between the home front and the battlefield, demonstrating with specially commissioned cartography that no war is fought in isolation from the rest of society. Approximately forty three-dimensional maps of terrain and troop movements add yet another unique element to this ambitious reference. Written by two esteemed Civil War historians, Kenneth Winkle and Steven Woodworth, the pithy text is accented with black and white photography and illustrations that bring key characters and settings to life. Pulitzer-prize winning author James McPherson, guides the project, setting the tone of the atlas with a foreword and five shorter essays the open each of the sections.

Useful resource.......2007-05-27
As other reviewers have noted, there are some annoying errors in the text. However, it provides an accessible introduction to Civil War battles and maneuvers, and--as such--has some value. That said, the maps and text do not always elucidate matters so well.
For instance, the battle of Logan's Crossroads (or Mill Springs). This was nasty early battle, in which Confederate generalship was inept and Union General George Thomas began to separate himself from Union mediocrities among general officers. The map on page 98 details the larger theater, but is not illuminating, given the lack of text. The map of the battle of Logan's Crossroads itself is useful, because the text accompanying it provides enough detail to make sense of things.
On occasion, some errors creep in. The discussion of Chancellorsville speaks of Howard's 6th Corps being outflanked and "rolled up." It was, of course, the 11th Corps that was so roughly handled, with Sedgwick's 6th Corps still at Fredericksburg.
At the same time, the volume does provide context. The first section focuses on "The Coming of War," and provides intelligible background, from issues of slavery to economics to demographics. All these trends began to create tensions between north and south. Graphics helpfully portray some of these sectional differences. On pages 56-57, we see how manufacturing differed dramatically by region (in terms of number of employees in manufacturing concerns) over decades.
Each section thereafter looks at a particular year during the conflict, exploring the combat, the campaigning, the state of each government and its people, economic productivity, and so on.
The volume concludes with the aftereffects of war, including presidential elections, Reconstruction, and so on.
The book is pretty well written. Steven Woodworth is a well known and reputable Civil War historian. Kenneth Winkle, the co-author, is also a well known historian. The format is such that only a handful of pages are devoted to a particular campaign or battle, and that means that detailed treatments of major engagements does not occur. Still, as a wide-ranging, graphically rich publication, this has a useful place in the library for those who want to get a broad introduction to the Civil War.
Disappointing.......2005-12-10
At first I was impressed by the maps and graphics in this book. As I began to study the battles I am particularly interested in I was suprised to find several gross errors. For example,the section on General Steele's Camden Expedition, has the map showing Thayer's Frontier Division meeting up with Steele at Elkin's Ferry via Murfreesboro, AR. The Map did not get even close to the correct route. Thayer came down via Hot Springs and Rockport and then followed Steele's army south until he caught up with Steele near Elkins Ferry. But I am amazed that the the map shows the Battle of Poison Springs on April 18, 1864 at Princeton which is 30+ miles northeast of Camden. Poison Springs is about 10+ miles West of Camden. I have to wonder who the heck researched this information and how could they be so far off????!!! It brings the creditability of this book into serious question!!!
Digging in Depth.......2005-08-09
This book is super in so many ways - but the best is its use of
maps and other statistical displays of wealth, development, strengths and capabilities. Had this information been available to Jeff Davis and Bobby Lee - both may have deferred the southern break-away.
A slipshod production.......2005-08-09
Yes, this book contains the good things mentioned in the editorial and other reviews: broader coverage than just the campaigns, excellent introductions by James MacPherson, and many maps. However, in just a few hours perusing the book, I have found a multitude of errors and anomalies which suggest to me a lack of care in putting the book together, something I would not expect from a book bearing the Oxford imprint. Some of these are:
--on p94 the battle of Antietam is said to have occurred in 1863. Sure, misprints happens, but shouldn't one of this import be caught?
--similarly, the first sentence on p182 refers to July 1, in a context that appears to indicate that this date refers to the upcoming action, which happens to be the second day of Gettysburg, July 2!
--on p206, the article correctly speaks of an action between the ships Alabama and Kearsarge off Cherbourg, France, whereas the accompanying map shows Atlanta and Kearsarge at that location.
--In a worse example of map error, the overview map of the Vicksburg campaign on p165 shows the Yazoo and the Big Black as essentially the same river: rather than separately flowing into the Mississippi north of Vicksburg, the Yazoo is shown joining up with the Big Black and flowing with it into the Mississippi well south of Vicksburg.
--near the bottom of p302, in an example of poor editing, the phrase "sometimes wading for hours at a time" occurs redundently in two close together sentences.
--in a worse example of poor editing, Grant's actions at the end of 1862 (1st Vicksburg) are placed out of chronological order prior to his actions at the beginning of 1862 (Fort Donelson and Shiloh), so that the 1862 campaign in the west is hard to follow.
--near the bottom of p286, the text refers (in words) to "eighteen thousand percent" Confederate inflation, whereas the figure shown at the bottom of p202 says "1800 percent". I certainly hope that the writers of this book don't think these two numbers are the same.
--in what may just be a Britishism, the glossary states that soldiers found it difficult "bighting" into hardtack.
Some of these errors I noticed by merely glancing at a page; others I discovered with a closer reading. However, given that I have at most perused a few dozen pages of the book, this seems to me to be an inordinate mumber of errors, indicative of sloppy editing and perhaps a rush job to meet a deadline. You may not mind these errors, but I do, and I give you fair warning.
A fine work!.......2005-04-21
This is a very good Civil War reference Book for those wishing an acquaintenance with the broad scope of the war. James McPherson's deft style and teaching skills prepares the reader for a wonderful educational experience.
And that's what The Atlas of the Civil War is: a wonderful educational experience packaged in a large 12 x 15 inch binding. It is an educational work designed for easy reading and comprehension that can be enjoyed by the casual reader.Laying the groundwork for the coming of the war, the Atlas compartmentalizes, in two page segments , the reasons for the war going back to territorial expansion and up through the Compromise of 1850 and the spread of slavery.
Its focus on the war compartmentalizes the major campaigns as well, some occupying more than the aforementioned two pages. Various facets of the opposing forces such as organization and recruiting are examined as well and the book is generously illustrated with maps, sketches and wartime photographs.
The Atlas of the Civil War is an excellent book for one wishing an overall familiarity with the war.
Product Description
From the Publisher After the Civil War, the U.S. Government and the Army embarked on a landmark joint endeavor. For the first time in American history, the federal government itselfled by the Armycompiled a military history. The history was composed of all of the official military documents from both sides of the war, and it proved to be a massive production. Called War of the Rebellion: A Compilation of the Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies, and referred to as the Official Records, or O.R., it contained official reports, letters, telegrams, strength returns, and casualty lists, covering all theaters throughout the war. The Army then collected the official military maps to supplement the O.R., known as The Atlas to Accompany the Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies. The maps had been drawn during the war by engineers, draftsmen, and sometimes even generals themselves for actual military use. Only a few maps, drawn later by cartographers, were added for historical purposes. Tactical and strategic maps indicate troop disposition; defense lines, redoubts, and fortifications of key sites are clearly shown. Terrain maps often contain picket positions, signal stations, and lines of march. Some are rough sketches, some cartographic masterpieces. All are informative and reveal the knowledgeor lack of knowledge that both sides possessed about the terrain, and the strength and the position of opposing troops. The index to the maps refers to campaigns and battles, rivers, creeks, lakes, bays, islands, bridges, fords, ferries, landings, roads, railroads, mountains, towns, churches, forts, and much more. The original edition was published in separate folios, sporadically produced; in this reprint, the index and maps are conveniently bound in one volume.

Official Military Atlas of the Civil War.......2007-05-14
Great book, although the original ISBN had the book four times a large and four times as thick. Outstanding product though! Great seller, very quick to respond.
Military Atlas of the Civil War.......2006-08-14
Wow! What a compilation of maps, drawings, photographs, and other useful Civil War information. This volume is large, both physically and figuratively. The maps showing battle positions are second to none, drawn up in the 1890s. No modern GPS or computer enhanced map can claim to have anything on these beautiful maps. Any Civil War scholar or buff will appreciate the detail and the comprehensiveness of the maps selected for inclusion. It even has maps of the 1863 Sioux Uprising in Minnesota. There are battles only but the most knowledgeable Civil War authority has even heard of. This is a must for any serious Civil War student. But as mentioned, it is quite large and will likely not fit in most basic bookshelves.
Official Military Atlas of the Civil War.......2004-04-23
This is an invaluable book and is truly a must-have for any Civil War researcher. This is a 2003 re-printing by Barns & Noble Publishing Inc. of the 1983 Arno Press Inc. and Crown Publishers Inc printing. Unlike other versions it has the plates numbered in Arabic and not Roman Numerals which is much easier to search.
If you can find one BUY IT!!! NOW!!!.......2002-12-07
This is THE indespensible source for Civil War maps. It has hundreds of them, from both sides, good, bad, and sometimes appalling inaccurate, produced by the men who actually fought there. You get to see what the generals saw, and sometimes its pretty appalling. Take McClellan's first map of the Penninsula for example, or Bragg's map of Chickamauga. On the other hand, you get Jed Hotchkiss's masterpieces from the Shenandoah Valley and some of the great maps produced on the Union side. One thing you notice is that, except for Hotchkiss, the Union had a pretty clear superiority as far as topography was concerned. Aside form the obvious uses for the historian, the maps are often extremely beautiful and artistic, unlike modern maps. There are a few minor problems. The first is that it is out of print and fairly hard to find, and pretty expensive if you do manage to find it (I paid $60 for a copy that was a little banged up). The second is that some of the maps are blurred and/or hard to read, and often run right through the seam of the book. I have also had problems with pages falling out completely. Anyway, if the high cost and sheer massiveness of this thing doesn't dismay you, and if you find a copy, buy and enjoy this masterpiece for a long time.

Great book for a thumbnail look at the war. There is a counterpart for the Revolutionary War as well. Everyone should have these two volumes on their shelves. Many references are made to more detailed sources.. I think I've bought three or four of each. I give them away to friends. WBB
An informative text enhanced 24 three-color maps and 30 black/white historical photographs.......2006-08-09
The collaborative work of author, educator, and Civil War authority Craig Symonds and expert cartographer William Clipson, this seventh printing of Gettysburg: A Battlefield Atlas features an informative text enhanced 24 three-color maps and 30 black/white historical photographs. Compact, comprehensive, "user friendly", and providing a narrative history along with a complete cartographic display of the famed American Civil War battle of Gettysburg, this 103-pages (plus an additional page offering author biographical synopses) battlefield atlas is a superb supplement for students of the battle rendering the events of the engagement both vividly depicted and comprehensibly understandable. Another very high recommended atlas for personal, academic, and community library American Civil War History reference collections from the team of Symonds and Clipson is A Battlefield Atlas Of The Civil War, Third Edition, (1877853259, $26.95, 128 pages, 51 two-color maps, 32 photos).
A companion for other Civil War books.......2005-09-17
I am the type of person who needs to see a battle laid out in a map. This is the book to get to help follow Civil War battles. Covers the major battles, most battles get two pages of coverage, the left page has the map, the right page has the narrative. (I say most battles, some battles, for example, Gettysburg get six pages, two per day of the battle). Nothing fancy with the maps but clearly laid out, the narrative uses numbers to reference the map.
Excellent.......2003-06-13
I love this book. It is great to have beside you whenever you are reading any other book about Civil War battles. Although some other map books have more elaborate maps, this small volume is so handy to use that I find that it is the one I always consult first.
A Simple, Straightforward Guide.......2003-02-11
If you want to know the basics of the Civil War and its battles, this is the book for you. Symonds has distilled the information that is elaborated in larger tomes down to an easy to read and reference guide of every major land battle of the war.
There is a two-page fold for each battle (with some exceptions that have more, like Gettysburg). On one page is a simple but informative map of the battle, while the opposite is an instructive narrative about the battle's events. The battles are also broken up into three sections that introduce the major campaigns and the important actors (politicians, Generals) that are vital to understanding the events of the war.
If you like the Civil War as a hobby, buy this book. If you are reading about the war in another book or novel and want an atlas of the battles mentioned, buy this book. If you are taking a Civil War course... including Symond's own at the Naval Academy... buy this book. It is an invaluable resource.

This is the type of African-American history book I have been searching for! The Atlas of African-American History and Politics offers not only a detailed chronilogical narrative of the African-American's history from slavery to today, but also clean-crisp visuals to clarify. You will learn and see the actual routes that were taken during slave trades. Not only is this book great for African-American study courses, but every household in America should have a copy of this easy read, yet informative atlas.

This book should be in print.......2001-10-23
This title is currently out of print but, it may be able to be found on a remainder table. Each major battle and campaign has a clearly set out map along with several illustrations, both photographs and drawings. The maps are in color and the drawings are too. There is accompanying text as well as full, clear captions. I hope that another edition of this book is printed since it is a beautiful volume that is clear both as to illustrations and text.

Product Description
World History Maps offers a unique approach to Civil War mapping. Our Interactive Historical Atlas has one map for each and every day during the war. Instead of a series of campaign maps, or an historical atlas which has maps showing the Civil War at a few significant dates, or even trying to compress the entire war onto one map, we offer a different approach - one day, one map. We have hundreds of Civil War maps showing an unprecedented amount of detail in time for the whole war that cannot be found anywhere else.
All of our Civil War maps are interactive. You can zoom in on specific areas to see the detail. Each event, place, and army displays popup information as you move over its name or symbol. Many of the symbols are links which bring up windows that have detailed information about armies, states, and army departments. Layers can be turned on and off. We use the SVG format which is an open standard so the maps can be copied and pasted into other applications and documents.
The Interactive Historical Atlas comes in two versions. This basic version, which comes on a CD includes only the series of maps for the Confederate States in the southeast. This enhanced version, which comes on a DVD includes a complete series of maps for the Confederate States in the southeast, the entire United States, and maps for 16 states or areas.
The focus of these maps are the individual events of the Civil War. Over 10,000 events are recorded in the National Archives Guide to the Official Records of the Civil War which is the principal source for these maps. About 6,000 individual events are shown on the maps on the day when they occurred. No previous atlas has mapped this amount of detail in time.
Other primary features are borders and headquarters locations of army departments, location of the field armies, and over 500 forts that are shown during the time they were active.
Each map page also gives a chronology of what was happening on that day.

The Civil War day to day. .......2007-08-20
Mr. Nelson compiles information from numerous sources for this work. The work is well done and would take a tremendous amount of time to duplicate. It is very interesting and for a Civil War scholar it would be useful.
I purchased it for use in finding locations for relic hunting at Civil War sites. It is of some practical use for that purpose but it is not really detailed enough.
It is well worth the price and can provide many hours of interesting viewing on your computer.
Book Description
What routes did slaves have to choose from when they wanted to escape in search of freedom-or flee after an ill-fated rebellion against white plantation-owners? Where are the historical centers of Southern Judaism? How did the New Deal rebuild the modern south? The engrossing text and vivid maps in this new historical atlas provide a unique geographical perspective on the history of the South. Coverage includes: the first European settlers and resultant Native American migrations, the Civil War, Reconstruction, bus boycotts, the contemporary fight against poverty and crime, and much, much more. Also inlcludes 50 color maps.
