We love “rediscovering” historic resources from our collections. Recently we happened upon a government document from the 1890’s that mapped battle sites and fortifications from the Civil War. Published between 1891 and 1895, the 3 volume set Atlas to Accompany the Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies contains reprints of state and territorial maps, plans of battles and military campaigns, as well as etchings of landscapes and battlefield panoramas. Primary resources don’t get much better than this!
