Campaigns, Timelines & Turning Points — Battles of the Civil War (2012)
A modern master-reference to the American Civil War. This comprehensive National Geographic wall map synthesizes major land campaigns, Union & Confederate troop movements, Union naval operations, roads and railroads, and battle outcomes—with dates of capture, consequences, and context across the entire theater. Two incisive insets—Battle for the Capitals and Turning Points of the War—pair with a detailed timeline of engagements (locations, casualties, and impacts) to make strategy and sequence unmistakably clear.
Created with expert input from the National Park Service, Civil War Preservation Trust, American Battlefield Protection Program, Naval Historical Center, Virginia War Museum, National Museum of Civil War Medicine, and the U.S. Naval Academy.
