Summary: Worthwhile Home Library Addition
Comment: Map draftsmanship is outstanding. The time sequences are helpful in understanding battle developments. I use the civil war maps to chart movements of my ancestors units and this work has proved invaluble. Coupled with regimental histories, contemporary photographs, and official records, the atlas helps provide the detail in piecing together events that affected the lives of many americans.

I felt disappointed at the scarity of material on the Indian Wars, exploration, expeditions and frontier security which played a significant role in developing the officer corps and unit traditions.

Concise maps and clear descriptions of Revolutionary War battles and movements help sort out complicated troop movements and the underlying geography of both battlefield and region.

Overall, I recommend this work to the amateur historian and serious student of american military history. It belongs in my library.

Summary: Interesting maps with text to be used very carefully
Comment: The atlas has good maps for much, but not all, of its intended purpose. But the REAL drawback is the text. Many mistakes penned by John Elting---especially serious ones concerning various Civil War aspects---plague the text.

In the end, it is an OK book for reference, but Elting's mistakes are too numerous to qualify it as The Bible.

Summary: Good For Its Intended Purpose, But Not For Mine
Comment: This is more like a textbook on war. It's well done. And, I'm sure it is good for its intended purpose, but not for mine. I therefore made a mistake getting it. Just wanted you to know.
