"[Lot of 7 - Civil War Maps] The Middle Tennessee and Chattanooga Campaigns", Bien, Julius

This lot of eight maps, on seven sheets, shows the important Civil War campaigns in Tennessee. Outside of Virginia, Tennessee experienced the most warfare due to its several strategic rivers running to the south. Each of the maps shows very good detail of troop locations (shown in blue and red) as well as topography and place names. Enlarged from an 1865 "Military Map of Middle Tennessee and parts of East Tennessee..." by C.S. Mergell, which was published in 1874. Printed by Julius Bien & Co. Size varies slightly. The maps are presented in a paper folder with the title ("The Middle Tennessee and Chattanooga Campaigns") on front cover.
