| Synopsis: |
The Maps of First Bull Run, including the Battle of Ball's Bluff, June - October 1861 is the eagerly awaited companion volume to Gottfried's best-selling The Maps of Gettysburg (Savas Beatie, 2007), part of the ongoing Savas Beatie Atlas Series. The Maps of First Bull Run breaks down the entire operation (and related actions) into numerous map sets or"action-sections" enriched with more than fifty full-colour original full-page maps. These cartographic originals bore down to the regimental and battery level and include the march to and from the battlefield and virtually every significant event in between. At least two-and as many as seventeen-maps accompany each "action-section". Keyed to each piece of cartography is detailed text describing the units, personalities, movements, and combat (including quotes from eyewitnesses) depicted on the accompanying map, all of which make the story of First Bull Run come alive. This original presentation makes it easy for readers to quickly locate a map and text on virtually any portion of the campaign.Readers will manoeuvre with Confederate and Union armies in the Shenandoah Valley, march with General McDowell's Federals to the plains of Manassas, and fight blow-by-blow through the battle up to its stunning climax on Henry House Hill and the final retreat from the battlefield all the way to Washington. The smaller but important Battle of Ball's Bluff is also covered in the same detail, as is the skirmish at Lewinsville. Serious students will appreciate the extensive and authoritative endnotes, bibliography, and complete orders of battle. Perfect for the easy chair or for walking hallowed ground, The Maps of First Bull Run is a seminal work that belongs on the bookshelf of every serious and casual student of the Civil War. |
