Item description from seller

"Sales/posting to the USA suspended". Hard cover dust wrapper, xviii/518pp, b&w maps. Light shelf wear; a fine copy, Lt. Col. Theodore Lyman served as Gen. George Gordon Meade's aide-de-camp in the Northern army from September 1863 until the end of the Civil War. Lyman was a Harvard-trained natural scientist who was exceptionally disciplined in recording the events, the players, and his surroundings during his wartime duty. His notebooks contain anecdotes, concise vignettes of officers, and descriptions of military campaigns as witnessed by him. As combat raged, Lyman penciled notations into his dispatch books, including exact times when Meade issued orders and when units deployed. He later transformed his notes into a coherent, historically accurate narrative, filling the account with personal and military details that few others were in a position to observe and including his sketches and hand-drawn maps showing the positions of the army after every significant movement.
