dozens of newly created maps trace the battles, political turmoil,
and great themes of America’s most violent and pivotal clash of
arms. From the Antebellum South to Fort Sumter, the assassination
of Abraham Lincoln, and the fitful peace of Reconstruction,
National Geographic’s Atlas of the Civil War displays eye-opening
maps—and a gripping, self-contained story—on every spread.
Eighty-five rare period maps, many seen here for the first time,
offer the cartographic history of a land at war with itself: from
19th-century campaign maps surveying whole regions and strategies
to vintage battlefield charts used by Union and Confederate
generals alike, along with commercial maps produced for a
news-hungry public, and comprehensive Theater of War maps. In 35
innovative views created especially for this book, the key moments
of major battles are pinpointed by National Geographic’s
award-winning cartographers using satellite data to render the
terrain with astonishing detail.
In addition, more than 320 documentary photographs, battlefield
sketches, paintings, and artifacts bear eyewitness testimony to the
war, history’s first to be widely captured on film.
