Bradley M. Gottfried, The Maps of the Bristoe Station and Mine Run Campaigns, Signed

Description

Bradley Gottfried’s The Maps of Bristoe Station and the Mine Run Campaigns is one of the more scarce and valuable additions to Savas Beatie’s excellent series of cartographic histories of Civil War battles.

Historians have long neglected the Army of Northern Virginia and the Army of the Potomac during the critical months following Gettysburg, when both armies assumed the offensive in a pair of fascinating campaigns of thrust and counter-thrust.

This careful new study breaks down these campaigns into 13 spectacular map sets or “action-sections” enriched with 87 original full-page color maps, bearing down to the regimental and battery level all the important actions between Gettysburg and The Wilderness. Opposite each map is a full page of detailed text with footnotes describing the units, personalities, movements, and combat (including quotes from eyewitnesses) depicted on that map, all of which make the story of these campaigns come alive. The fifth installment in the Savas Beatie Military Atlas Series, this is a seminal work that, like Gottfried’s earlier atlases on Gettysburg, First Bull Run, and Antietam is perfect for the easy chair or for walking hallowed ground.

Excellent condition; dust jacket. Signed and dated by the author.
