This German Civil War era map depicting the southern seat of war is centered on Tennessee and extends to the western Carolinas as well as northern Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi. It shows good detail of the lines of communication in the region including the Tennessee River, Mississippi River, and several railroads indicated by dashed line. Text below the map describes the recent Battle of Shiloh (April 6-7, 1862), where General Ulysses Grant overcame a surprise attack and subsequently pushed Confederate forces back into northern Mississippi. Printed by G. Hunckel and published by A.D. Geisler in May 1862.
