Civil War--Where

For Civil War buffs, there seems to be nothing better than to discuss battles, reenact battles, or discuss strategies. Now, thanks to the Library of Congress, you can get Civil War Maps that show exactly where the battles took place and the strategies that went with them.

"Civil War Maps brings together materials from three premier collections: the Library of Congress Geography and Map Division, the Virginia Historical Society, and the Library of Virginia. Among the reconnaissance, sketch, and theater-of-war maps are the detailed battle maps made by Major Jedediah Hotchkiss for Generals Lee and Jackson, General Sherman’s Southern military campaigns, and maps taken from diaries, scrapbooks, and manuscripts—all available for the first time in one place."

The sites not totally finished but additional maps are being added all the time.
