Each of the battle, communications, and locator maps is cross-referenced to provide a comprehensive overview of the fighting as it swept across the country.

With more than two hundred photographs and countless personal accounts that vividly describe the experiences of soldiers in the fields, The Atlas of the Civil War brings to life the human drama that pitted state against state and brother against brother.
