Artikelbeschreibung vom Verkäufer

Approximately 30 inches by 22 inches. Printed on both sides. Folded. The 'front' side is largely a detailed map with Missouri, Arkansas, and Louisiana on the left side and the Atlantic coastal states on the right side, with the other states presented in the middle. Also included in an inset at the lower right side showing the major offensives. The other side presents the War in the Southwest, The Cockpit of the War, and insets on Gettysburg, Grant at Richmond, Charleston Harbor, Fort Sumter, Nashville to Atlanta, Battles for Atlanta, the Vicksburg Campaign and Memphis to Huntsville. The venerable Cartographic Division of the National Geographic Society has charted everything from the depths of the Grand Canyon (one mile) to the mountains of Mars (Arsia Mons, about 73,000 feet, more than two Everests) since the division was created in 1915. Soldiers and pilots carried National Geographic maps into combat during World War II. John F. Shupe, chief cartographer, reported that 1992 had been the busiest year for making new maps that he can recall in his 26-year career. "With the breakup of the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia, and the new countries in Africa, we had 20 new pieces of geography to add to the map in about a year." Locates every battle, campaign and major event of the war. Features detailed descriptive notes. On the hundredth anniversary of the shots at Fort Sumter, National Geographic Magazine's April 1961 issue featured in-depth articles on the U.S. Civil War. The issue included a supplement map that located and described every battle, campaign and major event of the war. Now this historic map, updated, is available once again. Side one of the map covers the main region of the War from New Jersey to Louisiana. The map portrays the country as it was charted in 1863. It is based on a map on which General Grant marked his proposed lines of operation. An inset charts the major offensive of each army. Side two features more detailed maps, including "Cockpit of the Civil War" covering the area from southern Pennsylvania to southern Virginia, an inset of Gettysburg, an inset titled "Grant at Richmond", a map of War in the Southwest from Texas to California, an inset of the Vicksburg Campaign, maps of Nashville to Atlanta and Memphis to Huntsville, and an inset of battles for Atlanta. Every battle is located with a crossed-swords symbol. All key battles and events are described with National Geographic's renowned map notes. Single sheet, printed on both sides.
