"Hi, WOW! Your items are really and absolutely better than described. I own land in Tennessee, Florida, Colorado and Navajo County Arizona. You have really reproduced some beautiful maps. Absolutely astounded."

Civil War buffs marvel at the fascinating maps we currently have available of various key cities and battlegrounds during the Civil War.These maps are typically dated between 1861 and 1865.
The Civil War category of maps in our library has become one of the most visited and well known sections of our library. From the opening shots of the war as Fort Sumter is attacked, to Lee's surrender at the Appomattox Court house, to the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln, ours is one of the most comprehensive catalogues of restored historical map reproductions made available for sale.
Among the reconnaissance maps, hand-drawn sketches, and theater-of-war maps are the detailed battle maps of both Union and the Confederacy ~ from the battles and movements of big hitters like General Lee, General Jackson, Commander George McClellan, or General Sherman's Southern military campaigns to the lesser known battles like General William Rosencrans' Siege of Corinth, or Cavalry General Phillip H. Sheridan's decisive Union victory in the Shenandoah Valley, or the water battles of Flag Officer David Farragut and his ships that sailed up the Mississippi River to take the City of New Orleans.
Including battlefield maps of virtually every conflict during the war; Bull Run and Manassas, Shiloh, Antietam, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, Chickmauga, Chattanooga, Cold Harbor, Vicksburg, and the list goes on; our maps are restored from atlases as well as diaries, scrapbooks, and manuscripts of the fighting soldiers themselves.
Some of the most amazing maps are those of Robert Knox Sneden. This is a series of hand-drawn antique maps from his exhaustively detailed personal history of the Civil War. His amazing account was exhumed several years ago from a storage unit in Arizona and a Connecticut bank vault, and is now being called the most important Civil War memoir since Ulysses S. Grant's.
