Description

Extremely Rare Variant Edition on Thick Paper!

Detailed map of the southeastern United States, prepared following the completion of the Atlanta Campaign.

Unlike other editions, the map is colored in outline to show the movements of the different Army Corps during the Atlanta Campaign, including Cavalry and Infantry Units, along with the Rebel and Union Fortifications (by color).

The map also includes a list of authorities, several of which are rare civilian publications (highlighted)

There appear to be several editions of the map, all of which are uncolored, except for this edition. Moreover, this example is on a single thick sheet of paper, which has never been folded.

We surmise that this edition was issued in very limited quantities, intended for military use.

Condition Description

Linen backed. Single fold. Minor dampstain across the top.
