Beschreibung

This is pages 35 and 36 from Johnson and Wards atlas production. It covers the area of the Peninsula Campaign. In the first handf of the year 1862, Union General McClellan set forth into the landscape a major offensive designed to take Richmond, Constantly overestimatingthe Confederate soldiers, the General hesitated to pursue the matter until late May. Overall the campaign failed because the Union failed to seize the day. It was during the campaign that confederate General Johnston was wounded and Robert E. Lee took over. This is a superb Civil War artifact having been executed during the year 1862. very good with external neatline in tact surrounding the map. A few minor tears expertly repaired with archival mending tape. External neatline intact. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 90
