Hardcover. Zustand: Very good condition. First edition. Elephant Folio. 29pp., clxxv plates. Original burgundy buckram with gilt lettering on cover and spine, in original illustrated dustjacket, white and blue lettering on spine. With an introduction by Richard Sommers, PhD and archivist-historian, US Army Military History Institute. Published under the direction of the Hons. Redfield Proctor, Stephen B. Elkins, and Daniel S. Lamont, Secretaries of War. With extensive indices at front. "After the Civil War, the US Government and Army embarked on a landmark joint endeavor. For the first time in American history, the federal government itself -led by the army- compiled a military history. The history was composed of all of the official military documents from both sides of the war, and it proved to be a massive production. The maps had been drawn during the war by engineers, draftsmen, and sometimes even generals themselves for actual military use. Only a few maps, drawn later by cartographers, were added later for historical purposes. Tactical and strategic maps indicate dispositions. Defense lines, redoubts, and fortifications of key sites are clearly shown. The index to the maps is an invaluable aid. It refers to campaigns and battles, rivers, creeks, lakes, bays, islands, bridges, fords, ferries, landings, roads, railroads, mountains, towns, churches, forts, and much more. In this reprint, the index and maps are conveniently bound in one volume. The original edition was published in separate folios, sporadically produced." (Publisher).
