2021réf. acs1319California: Savas Beatie 2021. Revised full-color edition. Octavo black boards hardcover gilt lettering xx 363 pp. Fine in a Fine dust jacket As New. From dust jacket: After multiple editions and printings the bestselling Maps of Gettysburg is available for the first time in a full-color edition. More books pamphlets articles and photographic accounts of the Gettysburg Campaign exist than for all other campaigns of the Civil War combined. Despite this extensive coverage the campaign is still one of the most complex and difficult to understand. Bradley Gottfried’s The Maps of Gettysburg: An Atlas of the Gettysburg Campaign June 3 - July 13 1863 offers a thorough and unique approach to the study of this multifaceted campaign. Robert E. Lee launched his second invasion of the North on the heels of Chancellorsville his greatest battlefield victory of the war. Many believed that what was at stake would ultimately determine the outcome of the Civil War. The extensive campaign that followed stretched from June 3 until July 13 1863 and included the clearing of the Shenandoah Valley Second Winchester Stephenson’s Depot Jeb Stuart’s controversial cavalry raid and a series of wide-ranging cavalry battles including Brandy Station Westminster and Carlisle three days of intense combat around the town of Gattysburg from crops-size actions to small-unit engagements and the long retreat south to the Potomac River. Unlike any other book on the subject The Maps of Gettysburg plows new ground by breaking down the entire operation into thirty map sets or “action-sections” enriched with 144 detailed full-page maps comprising the entire campaign. These cartographic originals bore down to the regimental and battery level. They include the march to and from the battlefield and virtually every significant event in between. Savas Beatie, 2021.

The Maps of Spotsylvania Through Cold Harbor: An Atlas of the Fighting at Spotsylvania Court House Through Cold Harbor Including all Cavalry Operations May 7 - June 3 1864.

2023réf. acs1325California: Savas Beatie 2023. First Edition. Octavo black boards hardcover gilt lettering xx 363 pp. Fine in a Fine dust jacket As New. From dust jacket: After three years of bloody combat in Virginia President Abraham Lincoln promoted Ulysses S. Grant to general-in-chief in early 1865. Grant immediately went to work planning a comprehensive strategy to bring an end to the war. He hungered to remain with the Western armies but realized his place was in Washington. Unwilling to be stuck in an office Grant joined George Meade’s Army of the Potomac. His presence complicated Meade’s ability to direct his army but Grant promised to stay out of his way and give only strategic directives. This arrangement lasted through the Wilderness Campaign the first action in what is now referred to as the “Overland Campaign.” This book continues the actions of both armies through the completion of the Overland Campaign. After the Wilderness fighting the Army of the Potomac attempted to swing around the right flank of Gen. Robert E. Lee’s Army of Northern Virginia and shoot straight for Richmond. The Confederate capital was never the goal; the move was intended to force Lee out into the open where the larger and well-stocked Union army could destroy it. The head of Lee’s army blunted the enemy at Spotsylvania Court House where both sides dug in. Days and men were wasted on fruitless attacks until Col. Emery Upton designed an audacious strike that temporarily penetrated Lee’s works. A much larger offensive against the “Mule Shoe” two days later tore the line open destroyed a Rebel division and triggered a long day of fighting. More fighting convinced Grant of the folly of further attempts to crush Lee at Spotsylvania and again he swung around the Rebel right flank. The march ignited almost continuous fighting at the North Anna Bethesda Church and Cold Harbor where this volume ends. This study includes the various cavalry actions including those at Spotsylvania Court House Yellow Tavern Haw’s Tavern and Matadequin Creek. The Maps of Spotsylvania through Cold Harob breaks down the entire operation into thirty-five map sets or “action sections” enriched with 134 detailed full-page color maps. These cartographic originals bore down to the regimental and battery level and include the march to and from the battlefields and virtually every significant event in each map set. Keyed to each piece of cartography 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 Spotsylvania story come alive.

The Maps of the Wilderness: An Atlas of the Wilderness Campaign Including all Cavalry Operations May 2-6 1864.

2016réf. acs1323California: Savas Beatie 2016. First Edition. Octavo black boards hardcover gilt lettering xv 324 pp. Fine in a Fine dust jacket As New. From dust jacket: This latest magisterial work breaks down the entire campaign and all related operational maneuvers into 24 map sets or “action-sections” enriched with 120 original full-page color maps. These spectacular cartographic creations bore down to the regimental and battery level. The Maps of the Wilderness includes an assessment of the winter of 1863-1864 the planning for the campaign the crossing of the Rapidan River and two days of bloody combat and the day of watchful stalemate thereafter. At least one -- and as many as eight -- maps accompany each action-section.” 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 the first large-scale combat of 1864 come alive. Each cartographic snapshot also serves to unlock everything ever written on the subject. This detailed coverage also includes an order of battle bibliography and an index. This original presentation leads readers on a journey through the epic battle that would prove to be the opening salvo in a prolonged fight that would not end until the Confederates surrendered at Appomattox in April 1865. The Wilderness Campaign has two unique characteristics. First although he did not command the Army of the Potomac the battle was Ulysses S. Grant’s first against General Robert E Lee. Second the Wilderness fighting -- prolonged bloody and inconclusive -- is widely viewed as the most confusing action of the entire war. The dense thickets and deep smoke obscured much of what occurred during the two days of combat. Gottfried’s book cuts through the confusion to deliver a clear account of the horrendous struggle.
