The introductory text tells how 19th-century advances in printing and engraving technology, coupled with unprecedented public demand for information, led to the development of the quickly produced newspaper battlefield map. It also discusses how correspondents got maps to their papers from the field, press-military relations during the war, and the economic problems of map printing. Following is an atlas of 45 newspaper maps printed by the Northern daily press, each accompanied by a summary of the military operation and a commentary on the map itself.
