This uncommon promotional brochure details 105 battlefields in Virginia, West Virginia and Maryland with the Cheasapeake & Ohio Railway going through many of these important sites. To the right of the map image is a very detailed chronological listing of the principal battles along with Union and Confederate casualties. The verso contains a history of the Virginia Campaign and a listing of the command structures for both sides. This edition was likely produced for the 50th anniversary of the ending of the Civil War.
