Item description from seller

8VO; 152 pages; Jedediah Hotchkiss served as a staff officer to Confederate general Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson during the American Civil War (1861–1865). A New York native, Hotchkiss opened a school in 1859 in Augusta County. His specialty, however, was mapmaking, and his topographical skills proved to be crucial to Jackson’s success during his famous Shenandoah Valley Campaign of 1862. Thanks to Hotchkiss’s maps, Jackson always had ample knowledge of the geographic setting within which he was operating and a good appreciation of the terrain he would put to use against the enemy. Five large folding maps bound in back. Green cloth with blind-stamped rules on the boards and titles stamped in gilt on the front board. Brown endpapers. Scraped remains of book plate on insides of front board. Exceedingly scarce. Hotchkiss's maps were originally commissioned by General Lee shortly after the retreat from the battlefield. A major battle fought between April 30 – May 6, 1863 in Spottsylvania Virginia. Joseph Hooker vs Robert E Lee. 30,000 wounded and losses. Bewtween 2 major armies. It was second bloodiest battleof the civil war. Hooker had approximately 70,000 men concentrated in and around Chancellorsville. Owner's name has been clipped off bottom of title page- see photo. All 5 of the large fold-out maps are present and in suprisingly nice condition. Full length portrait frontis of Sonewall Jackson. Hinges are sound and binding is solid.…
