One complete, uncut, ORIGINAL Civil War Atlas map sheet...18\" by 29\"...from the 1890\'s U.S. Government limited issue ATLAS TO ACCOMPANY THE OFFICIAL RECORDS OF THE UNION AND CONFEDERATE ARMIES.

Plate number 117, in immaculate original condition; MILITARY MAP OF THE MARCHES OF THE UNITED STATES FORCES UNDER COMMAND OF MAJ. GEN. W.T. SHERMAN, U.S.A...DURING THE YEARS 1863, 1864, 1865.

This very unique map is loaded with important detail, and contains area within: NW Missouri, NE: Washingon D.C., SE: Brunswick, Georgia...and SW: Natchez on the Mississippi River!

THE OFFICIAL ATLAS, as it is called, represents the culmination of decades of research after The War, and wascontributed to by the military leaders of The War, civil engineers andcartographers, and was intended to be THEcompanion to The OFFICIAL RECORDS OF THE CIVIL WAR.

The complete ATLASES were not available to the public, rather they were sent in a series of five sheets at a time, 178 sheets in total,to the three branches of government and to federal and state agencies and libraries.

When THE OFFICIAL ATLAS was printed, over a century ago, each large map sheet was folded once, neatly, left side over right and this plate has been perfectly well,and has retained its original sharp, bold, crisp character. Theplate has a complete one inch border all the way around.

Please note, and this is important. This is an ENTIRE Atlas map sheet. It is NOT part of a plate nor is it a cut piece, but it is a wholeplate, as it was lithographed over a century ago. I will never cut pieces from these rare antique map sheets and sell the smaller slips of paper separately. Besides the obvious beauty and historic charm of these pieces, a very large part oftheir long term investment value is intheir entirety.

I will cover your fully insured Priority mailing.

Map will be rolled carefully, packed extremely well into a rigid tube, and sent to you in a Priority mailer. This is one exceptional piece... investment grade in every respect.
